Byron's Nature

This book is a thorough, eco-critical re-evaluation of Lord Byron (1789-1824), claiming him as one of the most important ecological poets in the British Romantic tradition. Using political ecology, post-humanist theory, new materialism, and ecological science, the book shows that Byron’s major poems— Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage , the metaphysical dramas, and Don Juan —are deeply engaged with developing a cultural ecology that could account for the co-creative synergies in human and natural system
