This urban ecocritical study reads the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay and William Carlos Williams in the context of the American street tree movement, a civic health and beautification program that advocated for the planting of shade trees along urban thoroughfares. It argues that both poets critique the ‘ideal’ street tree forwarded by the movement. In ‘City Trees,’ Millay presents a shade tree whose therapeutic effects are overwhelmed by the noise pollution in New York City, much like the speaker herself. In ‘Young Sycamore,’ Williams eschews the visual ideal of symmetrical, evenly-spaced shade trees in favor of a wily, asymmetrical organism that actively torques toward the light. By extension, these poets present city habitats as alternately more toxic and more wild than the street tree movement had imagined, a critique with ramifications for contemporary urban reforestation movements today.

Prompted by Wyndham Lewis's call in BLAST for a ‘USEFUL LITTLE CHEMIST’ to ‘restore to us the necessary BLIZZARDS’, this paper considers the conceptions of climate and climatic change – natural and anthropogenic – that were in circulation in the early twentieth century. Engaging with the writing of scientists, journalists, novelists, and avant-garde polemicists, it examines early twentieth-century iterations of the notion that climate determines culture, the period's awareness of past climatic changes, the theories advanced to explain these changes, and the attitudes taken towards the possibility of human-induced climatic change.

This essay contextualizes two of R.C. Sherriff's inter-war novels, Greengates (1936) and The Hopkins Manuscript (1939), within modernist debates about countryside preservation as well as noting their ongoing relevance to contemporary environmental politics. By creating characters who are both sympathetic war veterans and easily satirized figures of patriarchy and privilege, Sherriff engages complex themes of capitalist consumerism, ‘us’ and ‘them’ attitudes about land policy, and fraught impulses of pastoral nostalgia. These novels resist facile diatribe; instead, they force the reader to inhabit the emotional swings inherent in the lived experience of love and sacrifice required for environmental preservation.
