Together its chapters demonstrate that georgic - a genre based primarily on two classical poems about farming, Virgil's Georgics and Hesiod's Works and Days - has been reworked by writers throughout modern and early modern English-language literary history as a way of thinking about humans' relationships with the environment. The book is divided into three sections: Defining Georgic, Managing Nature and Eco-Georgic for the Anthropocene. It centres the georgic genre in the ecocritical conversation, giving it equal prominence with pastoral, elegy, and lyric as an example of 'nature writing' that can speak to urgent environmental questions throughout literary history and up to the present day. It provides an overview of the myriad ways georgic has been reworked in order to address human relationships with the environment, through focused case studies on individual texts and authors, including James Grainger, William Wordsworth, Henry David Thoreau, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, Seamus Heaney, Judith Wright and Rachel Blau DuPlessis. This is a much-needed volume for literary critics, academics and students engaged in ecocritical studies, environmental humanities and literature, addressing a significantly overlooked environmental literary genre"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a What is georgic's relation to pastoral? / Terry Gifford -- How is Walden georgic? / Juan Christian Pellicer -- Middlemarch and the georgic novel / Henry Power -- Agrilogistics and pest control in early modern georgic / Todd Borlik -- James Grainger's The sugar-cane and Naturalists' georgic / Brycchan Carey -- Rural Frances Burney / Barbara Witucki -- Wordsworth's tidal georgic / Ralph Pite -- Wordsworth's 'Michael' and the imperilled georgic : questions of agricultural permanence / Ethan Mannon -- Georgic culture in Thomas Hardy's The return of the native : participant observation / Philipp Erchinger -- Georgic hope in Robert Bloomfield and John Clare / Sue Edney -- Seamus Heaney's elegiac and domestic georgics / Shun Lu -- The semi-georgic Australian sugarcane novel / Elizabeth A.
