Drawing on ecocritical analysis, posthumanist theory, archival research and environmental history, this book resituates key works of modernist fiction within the ecological moment of the early twentieth century, a period in which new configurations of the relationship between human life and the natural world were migrating between the sciences, philosophy and literary culture. The author makes the case that the early twentieth century is pivotal in our understanding of the Anthropocene both as a planetary epoch and a critical concept. In doing so, he positions James Joyce, Djuna Barnes and Virginia Woolf as theorists of the modernist Anthropocene, showing how their oeuvres are shaped by, and actively respond to, changing ideas about the nonhuman that continue to reverberate today. 606 $aClimatic changes in literature 606 $aModernism (Literature)$xHistory 606 $aNature in literature 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General$2bisacsh 610 $aLiterary Criticism 610 $aAmerican 615 0$aClimatic changes in literature. 615 0$aModernism (Literature)$xHistory. 615 0$aNature in literature. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / American / General. 676 $a823/.91209112 686 $aHM 1101$qDE-25/sred22$2rvk 700 $aAdkins$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01273215 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637766703321 996 $aThe Modernist Anthropocene$92999981 997 $aUNINA
