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.

Abstract:This essay argues that the figure of the firefly sheds light on an environmental poetics that expands our understanding of how literature represented slavery in the Romantic period. Focusing on Edward Rushton's West-Indian Eclogues (1787) and Charlotte Smith's "To the Fire-fly of Jamaica, seen in a Collection" (1804), I trace how the firefly exposes the intersection of slavery and natural history, and thwarts the familiar abolitionist impulses to metaphorize, sympathize, and sentimentalize. Flickering on and off, the firefly ultimately registers the failure of a figure to capture and a poetics of intermittence and parataxis that resurfaces in contemporary Black ecopoetry.

Abstract:Drawing on site visits around Helpston and in the Lake District, this article examines rewilding projects inspired by John Clare and William Wordsworth. It considers the contested meaning of "wildness" in a Romantic period defined by enclosure and intensified agricultural production, and it shows how ecocritical fieldwork—walking, observing, talking, and even protesting—can supplement interpretive practice, illuminating the ways Romantic legacies are today informing reparative approaches to conservation.

Abstract:In Mansfield Park, Fanny Price's journey to gentility parallels Sir Thomas Bertram's journey to Antigua. They are, in fact, two sides of the same coin. The plot centers on growth and refining—both in training Fanny to become a marriageable young lady and in addressing sugar production issues on Sir Thomas's Antigua estate. Fanny must undergo a process to become "sweet" (her most common descriptor) just as surely as the plantation sugar cane on which her fortunes depend. This essay offers a contrapuntal reading of Austen's novel, reading Fanny's growth in terms of sugar refining and yam growth in the Caribbean.

Abstract:Taking up two Romantic-era colonial texts about Jamaica—Benjamin Moseley's Treatise on Sugar and the anonymous novel Marly—this essay considers the forest in relation to racial ecologies of the Caribbean. Beginning with the entwined history of deforestation and the sugar plantation in the fifteenth century, it reads the forest as a non-place aiding forms of resistance and escape from slavery, sheltering different modes of earthly inhabitation, and gesturing toward alternative conceptions of form and matter. The essay concludes with the forest as a conceptual and material site from which to constellate subsistence movements and ecological resistance across time and space.
