DESCRIPTION
This video argues that Romantic approaches to ‘nature' were diverse and that the concept itself is marked by considerably complexity. What is ‘nature’? Is it a place? Or a state of being? Are human beings part of it or are they distinct from it? The video also considers the influence of Romantic literature on our current ideas about nature, the development of ecocriticism, and the importance of thinking about Romantic literary texts and ecology in the Anthropocene.
