Writing Romantic Climate Change: Gendered Poetics and Critical Legacies in the Anthropocene - Paperback

by Anya Heise-Von Der Lippe (Author)

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.
