Writing Romantic Climate Change (Paperback)

Paperback. In the Romantic period, women writers developed specific aesthetics and writing strategies in their engagements with climate change and climate catastrophe. Anya Heise-von der Lippe draws on intersectional feminist and ecocritical approaches to highlight gender as a complicating category in Romantic engagements with these topics. She addresses the ways in which gendered critical framings continue to resonate in current Anthropocene discourses that use Romantic conceptualizations of "Nature", impacting contemporary approaches to the relationship between humans and non-humans in the ongoing climate catastrophe. A reading of Romantic visions of climate catastrophe and their current legacies in Anthropocene discourses from a gendered perspective.
