Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay adapts presentations the authors shared at the Edge Hill NASSR/BARS conference in the Summer of 2022 into a collaboratively constructed discussion. It reflects on what a recent “coastal turn” in ecocriticism, critical geography, and related fields might contribute to Romantic studies, and considers how coastal geographies (real and imagined) have informed aesthetics, politics, and lived experience, especially in settler-colonial contexts. Ranging from seventeenth-century poetry to contemporary fiction, from British waterways to the Mississippi Basin, it strives to bring Romantic accounts of coastal life into conversation with current modes of ecological thought and new forms of theoretical interrogation.
摘要本文将作者在2022年夏季Edge Hill NASSR/BARS会议上分享的演讲改编为一个合作构建的讨论。它反思了生态批评、批判性地理学和相关领域最近的“沿海转向”可能对浪漫主义研究有何贡献,并考虑了沿海地理(真实和想象)如何影响美学、政治和生活体验,尤其是在定居者殖民地背景下。从17世纪的诗歌到当代小说,从英国水道到密西西比盆地,它努力将对沿海生活的浪漫主义描述与当前的生态思维模式和新的理论审问形式相结合。

The European Romantic Review publishes innovative scholarship on the literature and culture of Europe, Great Britain and the Americas during the period 1760-1840. Topics range from the scientific and psychological interests of German and English authors through the political and social reverberations of the French Revolution to the philosophical and ecological implications of Anglo-American nature writing. Selected papers from the annual conference of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism appear in one of the five issues published each year.
