Reviews

"""A provocative and compelling case for centering the eighteenth century within environmental humanities. This interdisciplinary collection of essays will be of great interest and lasting value to literary scholars and teachers, and it will serve as a touchstone for all future work at the intersections of eighteenth-century studies and the environmental humanities.""--Seth Reno ""editor of The Anthropocene: Approaches and Contexts for Literature and the Humanities"" ""A welcome teaching tool for the undergraduate course in eighteenth-century studies--if you want to integrate environmental studies into your class but don't know where to begin, start here.""--Lucinda Cole ""author of Imperfect Creatures: Vermin, Literature, and the Sciences of Life, 1600-1740"" ""This innovative collection brilliantly addresses the challenge of studying and teaching the eighteenth century from an Anthropocene vantage. The wide-ranging essays explore the meaning of environmental justice for eighteenth-century writers reckoning with the socio-ecological violence of transatlantic empire.""--Tobias Menely ""author of Climate and the Making of Worlds: Toward a Geohistorical Poetics"" ""A field-defining collection, Eighteenth-Century Environmental Humanities demonstrates how the emergent methodologies of the environmental humanities illuminate and are in turn enriched by the study of eighteenth-century history and cultural production.""--Peter Remien ""author of The Concept of Nature in Early Modern English Literature"""
