Abstract:This article argues that Shelley’s experimentation with prophecy in Queen Mab closely connects him to the Coleridge of Religious Musings. Prophecy, in Coleridge’s hands, is a means of social criticism as well as a divine calling. Shelley relished such doubleness, transforming prophecy into an imaginative mode that marks his entire poetic career. Religious Musings, with its multi-faceted preoccupations, spoke to Shelley’s early ambitions as a philosophical poet in Queen Mab. Religious Musings was a model for Shelley that he would return to with a keen sense of his own mastery of Coleridge’s twist on the prophetic mode.

Abstract:By placing Walter Scott’s Waverley in dialogue with contemporaneous horticultural and architectural pattern books, this essay uncovers the Old English ecological aesthetic, a landscape style founded on the notion that the British climate demands the Gothic. In doing so, it pursues a new reading of Waverley by revealing how this style was mobilized to mediate environmental and social concerns over what it meant to be part of Britain. Ultimately, by highlighting Scott’s role in Britain’s ecological management, it reveals how pattern books used Scott’s aesthetic to imagine a unified landscape–thus, a unified nation– and how his fiction critiques such acts.

Abstract:This essay describes how Wordsworth’s poetry engages with geographical materialism to inscribe an antipodean aesthetics that raise questions about imaginative interactions between proximate and distant. These become crucial to Wordsworth’s representation of antithesis and reversal across time as well as space. It considers how Wordsworth introduced the politics of colonization to contemplate the status of local indigeneity in relation to metaphors of global cartography. It then addresses how figures of transposition, self-contradiction and doubling permeate The Excursion and concludes by suggesting ways in which such an antipodean imaginary can be seen as integral to the larger designs of Wordsworth’s poetry.

Abstract:This essay discusses the writing of the idea of the Industrial Revolution in three texts often cited by economic historians: John Aikin's Description of Manchester (1795); John Kennedy's "Observations on the Rise and Progress of the Cotton Trade" (1815); and Edward Baines junior's History of the Cotton Manufacture (1835). It traces an uneven development away from Aikin's sense of a complex system toward a techno-determinist narrative presented as "almost romantic" (Baines) in its idea of freedom released by limitless growth, an idea that may be uncomfortably closer to Romantic poetics than often acknowledged.

Abstract:The economic and cultural debates animating the early years of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine coincided with a period of rapid network integration as omnibus and carriage companies, mail coaches and steamboats, turnpikes and canals, came together to produce a cohesive transit system for people, goods, and information driving the Scottish and British economies. In this context, Blackwood's brand of Scottish nationalism in both the cultural and the economic realms appears less a counter to than a product of increasingly integrated interurban transport systems, and even as a consequence of the transition to a mineral-based energy economy.

Abstract:This article positions Walter Scott's Waverley novels as formative attempts to analyze Britain's transition to coal-based power. Situating the novels in relation to Scotland's drive to transition from peat to coal, the article argues that Scott's investment in coal is reflected, not only in his representation of fuel types, but also in the Waverley novels' narrative form. The novels' preference for passive protagonists and energetic secondary characters reflects an energy politics that valorizes disembodied, coal-associated agencies over those tied to the body. In their narrative form and conflicted politics, Scott's novels register the contested, incomplete nature of so-called energy transitions.

Abstract:A response to the other essays in "An Inventive Age," developing their ecocritical revision of the antagonism between an "organic" Romanticism and industrialism. Framing its argument around the failure of the Scottish Highlands to industrialize like other regions of Britain, the essay explores some different inflections to key contemporary terms like "industry," "invention," and "improvement" in Thomas Garnett's 1800 Tour of the Highlands. Notwithstanding Garnett's cameralist hopes for a mixed ecology of growth in the region, his Tour disguises the structural dependence of the Highland economy on West Indian wealth, with implications for the other essays in the special issue.

Abstract:Pre-modern economies are typically constrained by the availability of land, which is required to produce food and other economic goods. In eighteenth-to nineteenth-century Britain, those environmental constraints on production were displaced by coal use and the importation of land-intensive resources such as potash and cotton. That land-saving import/extraction process underpinned the cultural coherence of the British "long eighteenth century" as an era of broadly continuous economic expansion. Anna Letitia Barbauld's poetry reflects ironically on that unprecedented era of sustained growth; on Britain's consequent national prestige and the modernization of its physical environments; and on the impending threat of decline.
