Abstract
Abstract:This article discusses the benefits to be derived, in Romantic studies, from an intersection of the methods and approaches of geo-criticism and eco-criticism. It stresses the importance of considering the geographical specificities of Romantic-era engagements with ecosystems, and, more precisely, how such engagements were bound up with geo-political and geo-cultural concerns. In particular, the article proposes methodological intersections of geo- and eco-criticism as a means of shedding new light on how Romantic-period representations of Italy problematize the interconnections between the country's highly diverse natural environments and its cultural, political, and economic dimensions.
期刊介绍:
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
