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.
The New Poetics of Climate Change

Release Date: 2017-07-27
Climate change is the greatest issue of our time – and yet too often literature on the subject is considered only in the bracket of 'environmental' writing, divorced from culture, society and politics. The New Poetics of Climate Change argues instead that the emergence of global warming presents a fundamental challenge to the way we read and write poetry – the way we think – in the modern age. In this important new book, Matthew Griffiths demonstrates that Modernism's radical reinvigorations of literary form over the last century represent an engagement with key intellectual questions that we still need to address if we are to comprehend the scale and complexity of climate change. Through an extended examination of Modernist poetry, including the work of T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Basil Bunting and David Jones, and their influence on present-day poets including Jorie Graham, Griffiths explores how Modernist modes can help us describe and engage with the terrifying dynamics of a warming world and offer a poetics of our climate.
Thomas Hardy and Eco-criticism. From Romantic Literature to Climate Change Fiction
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Bamberg, course: Anglistik at Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: The industrialization of the 18th and 19th centuries reshaped both the physical landscape and societal structures, leading to the decline of rural life and a growing disconnection from nature. Thomas Hardy, renowned for his affection for the countryside and commitment to preserving traditions, captured this shift in his literary works. This paper examines Hardy's portrayal of nature through the lens of eco-criticism, a framework exploring environmental themes in literature. Hardy's novels, such as "Far from the Madding Crowd" and "Tess of the D’Urbervilles," depict the tension between rural and urban life, highlighting the impact of ecological factors on human existence. Through analysis of Hardy's narrative techniques, including anthropomorphism and personification, his ecological consciousness can be uncovered. Understanding the interplay between humanity and nature in Hardy's works sheds light on his enduring relevance as a literary figure and advocate for environmental conservation.
