Romantic Sustainability

Romantic Sustainability is an international collection of ecocritical essays that examine sustainability in relation to Romantic-era Britain. The essays examine the traditional Romantic canon but also delve into less well-known authors, all while interrogating issues of race, gender, religion, and identity, beginning with inspiration and creativity and ending with considerations about extinction and apocalypse.
