Drawing on scholarship from leading and emerging researchers worldwide, it surveys critical debates across genres and scales—from Romantic precursors and deep time to contemporary climate fiction and speculative futures. The volume connects questions of scale, ethics, and entanglement with infrastructure, animal studies, colonialism, and extractivism.","THE ANTHROPOCENE AND LITERATURE  \nIn recent decades, the Anthropocene has become a powerful concept for understanding climate change, extinction, and planetary crisis, and literature is one of its most vital arenas of reflection and imagination. Drawing together the work of both emerging and leading scholars from across the globe, this volume explores how stories, genres, and critical debates illuminate humanity’s profound impact on Earth. From Romantic precursors to contemporary climate fiction, from deep time to speculative futures, this volume traces how literature and literary studies grapple with questions of scale, ethics, and entanglement across global contexts. Combining historical depth with current theory, the book offers fresh insights into topics such as infrastructure, animal studies, colonialism, and extractivism, while engaging urgent questions: How have literature and literary studies anticipated and responded to humanity’s fraught relation with the planet? Can literature change our behavior and help us imagine new, more sustainable ways of living?  \n􀀁􀀃􀀄􀀅 􀀄􀀆􀀅 􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀅􀀄􀀊􀀅􀀈 is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Aarhus University.

Each concept addressed in the series has had a profound impact on literary studies, as well as on other disciplines, and already has a substantial critical bibliography surrounding it. This series captures the dynamic critical energies transmitted across twentieth- and twenty-firstcentury literary landscapes: the concepts critics bring to reading, interpretation and criticism. By addressing the origins, development and application of these ideas, the books collate and clarify how these particular concepts have developed, while also featuring fresh insights and establishing new lines of enquiry.  \nCambridge Critical Concepts shifts the focus from period-or genre-based literary studies of key terms to the history and development of the terms themselves. Broad and detailed contributions cumulatively identify and investigate the various historical and cultural catalysts that made these critical concepts emerge as established twenty-first-century landmarks in the discipline. The level will be suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduates and specialists, as well as for those teaching outside their own research areas, and will have cross-disciplinary relevance for subjects such as history and philosophy.  \nTitles in the Series  \nLaw and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀒􀀎􀀅􀀄􀀇􀀈 􀀉􀀃􀀐􀀎􀀈 University of Western Australia  \nTime and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀁􀀓􀀃􀀌􀀇􀀊 􀀌 . 􀀇􀀐􀀐􀀅􀀈 University of Ottawa  \nThe Global South and Literature Edited by 􀀄􀀔􀀊􀀊􀀅􀀐􀀐 􀀕􀀅􀀊􀀁-􀀑􀀇􀀖􀀐􀀃􀀖 University ofTbingen  \nTrauma and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀄􀀃􀀏􀀅􀀄 􀀒􀀔􀀄􀀁􀀗  \nThe College at Brockport, State University of New York Food and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀏􀀎􀀁􀀇􀀈􀀘􀀇􀀐􀀎 􀀊􀀓􀀇􀀓􀀇􀀈􀀎 San Francisco State University Animals, Animality, and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀍􀀄􀀔􀀋􀀅 􀀍􀀃􀀅􀀓􀀄􀀅􀀄, 􀀌􀀃􀀐􀀐􀀆 􀀓􀀇􀀈􀀉 and 􀀍􀀄􀀎􀀇􀀈 􀀌􀀇􀀊􀀊􀀔􀀌􀀎 Florida State University, University of Montreal  \nTerrorism and Literature Edited by 􀀑􀀅􀀁􀀅􀀄 􀀓􀀅􀀄􀀌􀀇􀀈 San Diego State University  \nClimate and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀇􀀉􀀅􀀐􀀎􀀈􀀅 􀀘􀀃􀀓􀀈􀀊-􀀑􀀔􀀁􀀄􀀇 University of Surrey  \nOrientalism and Literature Edited by 􀀏􀀅􀀃􀀙􀀙􀀄􀀅􀀆 􀀈􀀇􀀊􀀓 SOAS, University of London  \nDecadence and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀘􀀇􀀈􀀅 􀀉􀀅􀀊􀀌􀀇􀀄􀀇􀀎􀀊 and 􀀉􀀇􀀖􀀎􀀉 􀀕􀀅􀀎􀀄 Goldsmiths, University of London and Hunter College  \nAffect and Literature Edited by 􀀇􀀐􀀅􀀚 􀀓􀀃􀀔􀀅􀀈 University of Cambridge  \nSound and Literature Edited by 􀀇􀀈􀀈􀀇 􀀊􀀈􀀇􀀎􀀁􀀓 King’s College London  \nMagical Realism and Literature  \nEdited by 􀀋􀀓􀀄􀀎􀀊􀀁􀀃􀀑􀀓􀀅􀀄 􀀕􀀇􀀄􀀈􀀅􀀊 and 􀀒􀀎􀀌 􀀇􀀈􀀉􀀅􀀄􀀊􀀃􀀈 􀀊􀀇􀀊􀀊􀀅􀀄 University of Cambr","cbCaib6iypRitvUC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib6iypRitvUC","pdf",2400467,1,375,"English","en",105,"# Overview\n## The Anthropocene as a Lens for Literary Study\n## Literature, Scale, Ethics, and Entanglement Across Contexts\n# Themes and Research Directions\n## Infrastructure, Animal Studies, Colonialism, and Extractivism\n## Deep Time and Speculative Futures\n## How Literature Anticipates and Responds to Human-Planet Relations","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of THE ANTHROPOCENE AND LITERATURE?\",\"answer\":\"It explores how stories, genres, and critical debates help interpret humanity’s impact on Earth during the Anthropocene.\"},{\"question\":\"Which literary timeframes and genres does the volume cover?\",\"answer\":\"It spans Romantic precursors, deep time perspectives, contemporary climate fiction, and speculative futures.\"},{\"question\":\"What research themes are highlighted beyond genre and period?\",\"answer\":\"The book engages topics such as infrastructure, animal studies, colonialism, and extractivism, linking them to ethics and entanglement.\"}]","THE ANTHROPOCENE AND LITERATURE -
