Interdisciplinary in their approach, the essays take up questions related to the nonhuman, botany, landscape, evolutionary science, and religion. The contributors cast a wide net in terms of genre, analyzing novels, poetry, periodical works, botanical literature, life-writing, and essays. Focusing on a wide range of canonical and noncanonical writers, including Charles Dickens, the Brontes, John Ruskin, Christina Rossetti, Jane Webb Loudon, Anna Sewell, and Richard Jefferies, Victorian Writers and the Environment demonstrates the ways in which nineteenth-century authors engaged not only with humans' interaction with the environment during the Victorian period, but also how some authors anticipated more recent attitudes toward the environment. -- $c From the rear cover. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ecocriticism $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Nature in literature. 650 0 $a Environmental protection in literature. 650 7 $a Ecocriticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901428 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Environmental protection in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913429 650 7 $a Nature in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034680 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Mazzeno, Laurence W., $e editor. 700 1 $a Morrison, Ronald D., $e editor. 830 0 $a Among the Victorians and modernists 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214021246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A0A4C69672D811EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
