Together, these essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate \"natural\" questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a means for generating environmental--and therefore political--knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond, \u003ci\u003eEcological Form\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. Yet the book's most pressing argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKaren Pinkus (Afterword By) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eKaren Pinkus \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature at Cornell University.
