Together, these essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate ?natural? questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a means for generating environmental?and therefore political?knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond, Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. Yet the book?s most pressing argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present. 410 0$aFordham scholarship online. 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism$y19th century 606 $aIndustrial revolution in literature 606 $aEcology in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aIndustrial revolution in literature. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 676 $a820.9008 702 $aSteer$b Philip$f1979- 702 $aHensley$b Nathan K. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996478970603316 996 $aEcological Form$92429219 997 $aUNISA
