So there is always something muddled, or dirty, or even offensive when talking about worms. Rehabilitating the lowly worm into a powerful aesthetic trope, this book proposes a new framework for understanding such a strangely animate nature. 606 $aRomanticism$zEurope 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aLiterature and science$zEurope$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiterature and science$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRomanticism 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and science$xHistory 676 $a809/.9145 700 $aSchwartz$b Janelle A$01036481 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462352203321 996 $aWorm work$92456870 997 $aUNINA
