SynopsisModernism and Its Environments surveys new developments in modernist studies inspired by ecocriticism and the environmental humanities. Taking a fresh view of familiar topics in modernist studies such as the city, this book also introduces new topics and perspectives on modernism, such as: nature and wilderness; conservation and preservation; energy and fuel; waste and pollution; the animal and the human; and weather and climate. Ecocritical and environmentalist approaches have fundamentally altered our understanding of both modernism and the field of modernist studies. This book accounts for the transformation, and offers readers a host of resources with which to continue exploring and rethinking. Covering a wide range of writers and artists including Edvard Munch, Paul Valéry, Robert Musil, A.A. Milne, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, J.R.R. Tolkien, Richard Wright, Elizabeth Bishop, Ralph Ellison, Olafur Eliasson, Zadie Smith, and Kate Tempest,, From the modernist city to issues of energy and waste, Modernism and Its Environments introduces key themes in debates in the environmental humanities and the ways in which they are opening up important new avenues for modernist studies today. Topics covered include: - Urban modernism: from Virginia Woolf's London and Theodor Dreiser's New York to Rudyard Kipling in Lahore - Energy consumption and fuel: from Upton Sinclair's Oil to coal-mining life in Zola, Orwell and Lawrence - The non-human world: from Hemingway and Steinbeck to Wallace Stevens - Waste and pollution: from T.S. Eliot's "yellow fog" to the art of Marcel Duchamp Each chapter includes a case study exploring modernist environmental issues in greater depth, and the book includes a glossary of key terms and a bibliography of important critical work in the environmental humanities. Modernism and Its Environments is an essential resource for scholars of modernist ecocriticism at all levels.
