In this timely study, Onno Oerlemans extends these current eco-critical views by synthesizing a range of viewpoints from the Romantic period. He explores not only the ideas of poets and artists, but also those of philosophers, scientists, and explorers.Oerlemans grounds his discussion in the works of specific Romantic authors, especially Wordsworth and Shelley, but also draws liberally on such fields as literary criticism, the philosophy of science, travel literature, environmentalist policy, art history, biology, geology, and genetics, creating a fertile mix of historical analysis, cultural commentary, and close reading. Through this, we discover that the Romantics understood how they perceived the physical world, and how they distorted and abused it. Oerlemans's wide-ranging study adds much to our understanding of Romantic-period thinkers and their relationship to the natural world. 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNature in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNature in literature. 676 $a820.9/145 700 $aOerlemans$b Onno$f1961-$0907035 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456311903321 996 $aRomanticism and the materiality of nature$92028897 997 $aUNINA
