The global climate disaster following Mt Tambora's eruption in 1815 - the 'Year without a Summer' - is a starting point from which to reconsider both how the Romantics responded to the changing climates of their day, and to think about how these climatic events shaped the development of Romanticism itself. As the contributions to this volume demonstrate, climate is an inescapable aspect of Romantic writing and thinking. Ideologies and experiences of climate inform everything from scientific writing to lyric poetry and novels. The 'Diodati circle' that assembled in Geneva in 1816 - Lord Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, John Polidori and John Cam Hobhouse and the gothic novelist MG 'Monk' Lewis - is synonymous with the literature of that dreary, uncanny season. Essays in this collection also consider the work of Jane Austen, John Keats and William Wordsworth, along with less well-known figures such as the scientist Luke Howard, and later responses to Romantic climates by John Ruskin and Virginia Woolf. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aCommunication in the environmental sciences 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aEnvironmental Communication 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aCommunication in the environmental sciences. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aEnvironmental Communication. 676 $a809.034 676 $a820.9356 702 $aCollett$b Anne$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMurphy$b Olivia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910481957203321 996 $aRomantic Climates$92846248 997 $aUNINA
