Abstract
Abstract:This essay focuses on the observations of animal migration found in the journals of eighteenth-century Hudson's Bay Company naturalists Andrew Graham and Thomas Hutchins. In particular, it examines how the naturalists' locally specific yet globally engaged knowledge of migration depended on a composite of systems, places, and voices—on long-term access to the ecological richness and diversity of the Hudson Bay Lowlands, fur-trading work, information supplied by First Nations peoples, and natural history frameworks derived from Europe. It also considers how the mercantile and colonial forces that underwrote their understanding of migration threatened to disrupt the very ecologies they described.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
