Reviews

Carman's account of its queerness makes The Radical Ecology of the Shelleys a really interesting, important contribution to Shelley studies and to Romantic ecocriticism. While the strangeness of the natural world is well-established in Romantic scholarship, the strangeness of human sexuality is less established, and the strength of Carman's book lies in his synthesis of the two. - Seth T. Reno, Aubern University, Review 19 This book will be invaluable to any scholar with an interest in the Shelleys and Romantic ecocriticism. As Carman demonstrates, ecology is already queer and erotic, but due to nature's association with the heteronormative and masculine, it has been overlooked in previous Shelley scholarship. -Katherine Warby, Romance, Revolution & Reform, Issue 3: January 2021
