摘要

摘要:在18世纪80年代到19世纪20年代之间,英国将从太阳能驱动的全新世过渡到化石驱动的人类世,这似乎是受到煤炭价值新愿景的推动。约翰·斯卡夫(John Scafe)的《煤王的大堤》(1818)是一部文学文化作品,它帮助推动了向煤炭的过渡和英国向化石利维坦的转变。斯卡夫的这首诗现在几乎被人遗忘了,但在1819年至1820年间,它奇怪地流行了起来,经历了四个版本,牛津地质学家威廉·巴克兰(William Buckland)和威廉·丹尼尔·康尼贝尔(William Daniel Conybeare)还添加了大量的科学注释。《煤王大堤》帮助创造了岩石美学,煤不仅是“英国之火”的燃料,也是霸权、主权和英国民族未来的取之不尽的关键。

Rise of British Petroaesthetics in King Coal’s Levee
Abstract:Between the 1780s and the 1820s, Britain would transition from the solar-powered Holocene into the fossil-powered Anthropocene, seemingly motivated by new visions of the value of coal. King Coal’s Levee (1818) by John Scafe is one piece of literary culture that helped facilitate the transition to coal and Britain’s transformation into a fossil leviathan. Scafe’s poem, now mostly forgotten, was curiously popular between 1819 and 1820, going through four editions and the addition of extensive scientific notes by Oxford geologists William Buckland and William Daniel Conybeare. King Coal’s Levee helped create petroaesthetics whereby coal was not merely the fuel of the “English fire” but also the inexhaustible key to hegemony, sovereignty, and the future of the British nation.

期刊介绍: SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
