    Frontmatter -- contents -- Introduction: Stratigraphic Criticism -- 1. "Earth Trembled": Paradise Lost, the Little Ice Age, and the Climate of Allegory -- 2. "The Works of Nature": Descriptive Poetry and the History of the Earth in Thomson's The Seasons -- 3. Mine, Factory, and Plantation: The Industrial Georgic and the Crisis of Description -- 4. Uncertain Atmospheres: Romantic Lyricism in the Time of the Anthropocene -- Afterword: The Literary Past and the Planetary Future -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Bibliographic Note -- Index In this book, Tobias Menely develops a materialist ecocriticism, tracking the imprint of the planetary across a long literary history of poetic rewritings and critical readings which continually engage with the climate as a condition of human world making. Menely's central archive is English poetry written between John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667) and Charlotte Smith's "Beachy Head" (1807)-a momentous century and a half during which Britain, emerging from a crisis intensified by the Little Ice Age, established the largest empire in world history and instigated the Industrial Revolution. Incorporating new sciences into ancient literary genres, these ambitious poems aspired to encompass what the eighteenth-century author James Thomson called the "system . . . entire." Thus they offer a unique record of geohistory, Britain's epochal transition from an agrarian society, buffeted by climate shocks, to a modern coal-powered nation. Climate and the Making of Worlds is a bracing and sophisticated contribution to ecocriticism, the energy humanities, and the prehistory of the Anthropocene

    "Engaging with Elizabethan understandings of masculinity, this book examines representations of manhood during the short-lived vogue for verse satire in the 1590s, by poets like John Donne, John Marston, Everard Guilpin and Joseph Hall. While criticism has often used categorical adjectives like "angry" and "Juvenalian" to describe these satires, this book argues that they engage with early modern ideas of manhood in a conflicted and contradictory way that is frequently at odds with patriarchal norms even when they seem to defend them. The book examines the satires from a series of contexts of masculinity such as husbandry and early modern understandings of age, self-control and violence, and suggests that the images of manhood represented in the satires often exist in tension with early modern standards of manhood. Beyond the specific case studies, while satire has often been assumed to be a "male" genre or mode, this is the first study to engage more in depth with the question of how satire is invested with ideas and practices of masculinity"--

    "In "Coming To," Timothy Harrison reminds us of the forgotten role of poetry in the history of the idea of consciousness. Drawing our attention to a sea change in the English seventeenth century, when, over the course of a half century, "conscience" made a sudden shift to "consciousness," he traces a line that leads from the philosophy of René Descartes to the poetry of John Milton, from the prenatal memories of theologian Thomas Traherne to the unresolved perspective on natality, consciousness, and ethics in the philosophy of John Locke. Harrison shows how each of these figures responded to the importance accorded the first-person perspective and their views of the origins of how human thought began. Taken together, the writings of this unlikely group of thinkers sheds new light on the emergence of the concept of consciousness and the meaning of human natality. It will be read by literary scholars, philosophers, and historians of science alike"--

    "As the title indicates, the thesis is a comparative analysis of Metaphysical poets and Mid-Late Tang poets, under the general category of Baroque. The scholarship on this topic is minimal because only recently with the study of James Liu on Li Shangyin and the Baroque we have learned to think of Tang poets as Baroque poets. The same goes for Metaphysical poets who were so-called by Dr. Johnson but who actually belong to the Baroque style. Author's definition of Baroque, however, does not conform to that of James Liu who uses the term historically, and compares terms which he identifies as "Baroque" and are common to both metaphysical poets and Tang poets. Author's concept of Baroque is based on Nietzsche's definition as a poetic "style" which can be found in any period, in any place and in any country: in the West as well as in the East, in England, or Europe, as in China. Nietzsche's definition of Baroque is associated with a concept of art as allegory, in opposition to traditional poetic forms, which are symbolic. According to Nietzsche, there is allegorical or Baroque poetry, when traditional, symbolic forms are disrupted or are in decline. An analysis of Baroque poetry cannot be based on a symbolic approach but on an allegorical reading which is attentive at the ways in which the poetry is displaced from traditional forms. The three metaphysical poets I have selected are John Donne, Andrew Marvell and Richard Crashaw, and for each one the author discusses three poems. For Mid-Late Tang poetry he has chosen three poems of Meng Jiao, Li He and Li Shangyin. The study is divided in Introduction, a chapter on Metaphysical poets, a chapter on Mid-Late Tang poets, a third chapter on a comparative analysis of Metaphysical and Mid-Late Tang conceits. A short conclusion and a Bibliography conclude the study"--
