Ecocriticism and the Victorians

Industrialization gave the Victorians front-row seats to ecological collapse—smog, deforestation, polluted rivers—and this course reads their fiction, poetry, and essays as early attempts to think through what we now call environmental crisis. You'll pair contemporary ecocritical theory (Carson, Kimmerer, Morton) with Victorian voices like Hardy, Hopkins, and Morris, working through a take-home midterm, an essay-driven final, and a research project that pushes you into periodicals databases to trace nineteenth-century ecological thought. It's a senior-level literature seminar where close reading meets environmental humanities, useful preparation for thesis work or graduate study connecting literary history to today's climate conversations.
