| Résumé: | As well as re-publishing the work of major poets such as Oliver Goldsmith, Laurence Whyte and William Drummond, this anthology includes many works by little known or anonymous authors. Reflecting current scholarship on the relationship between literature and the environment, it enriches our understanding of attitudes in pre-Romantic Ireland towards changing landscapes and agricultural practices, towards human responsibility for the non-human world, and towards the relationship between nature and aesthetics. As well as adding considerably to existing knowledge of the printing and reading of poetry in Ireland during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this anthology also traces the developments in sensibility in Irish poetry during this period, offering new perspectives on the advent of Romanticism in England and on the ways in which this revolutionized the relationship between nature and representation. The anthology fulfills the dual purpose of making a significant contribution to the study of literature and the environment, and of expanding our understanding of Irish writing during the period. |
