Specificatii
The smoke-laden fog of London is one of the most vivid elements in
English literature, richly suggestive and blurring boundaries
between nature and society in compelling ways. In The Sky of Our
Manufacture, Jesse Oak Taylor uses the many depictions of the
London fog in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
novel to explore the emergence of anthropogenic climate change. In
the process, Taylor argues for the importance of fiction in
understanding climatic shifts, environmental pollution, and
ecological collapse. The London fog earned the portmanteau smog in
1905, a significant recognition of what was arguably the first
instance of a climatic phenomenon manufactured by modern industry.
Tracing the path to this awareness opens a critical vantage point
on the Anthropocene, a new geologic age in which the transformation
of humanity into a climate-changing force has not only altered our
physical atmosphere but imbued it with new meanings. The book
examines enduringly popular works--from the novels of Charles
Dickens and George Eliot to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and
the Sherlock Holmes mysteries to works by Joseph Conrad and
Virginia Woolf--alongside newspaper cartoons, scientific writings,
and meteorological technologies to reveal a fascinating
relationship between our cultural climate and the sky
overhead.Under the Sign of Nature: Studies in Ecocriticism
