This book provides a clear historical and theoretical framework for reading three important novels published in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century. Examining the novels by Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell, the book offers an analysis of their strategies for radical reforms and for the restructuring of society and politics through improvements in the living and working conditions of the working class.The Industrial Novels begins with an introduction of the Industrial Revolution, which is then followed by chapters devoted to a detailed discussion of each

A new literary-cultural history of the Industrial Revolution in Britain from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Working against the stubbornly persistent image of "dark satanic mills," in many ways so characteristic of literary Romanticism, Jon Mee provides a fresh, revisionary account of the Industrial Revolution as a story of unintended consequences. In Networks of Improvement, Mee reads a wide range of texts-economic, medical, and more conventionally "literary"-with a focus on their circulation through networks and institutions. Mee shows how a project of enlightened liberal reform articulated in Britain's emerging manufacturing towns led to unexpectedly coercive forms of machine productivity, a pattern that might be seen repeating in the digital technologies of our own time. Instead of treating the Industrial Revolution as Romanticism's "other," Mee shows how writing, practices, and institutions emanating from these industrial towns developed a new kind of knowledge economy, one where local literary and philosophical societies served as important transmission hubs for the circulation of knowledge.

Ecological Form brings together leading voices in nineteenth-century ecocriticism to suture the lingering divide between postcolonial and ecocritical approaches. Together, these essays show how Victorian thinkers used aesthetic form to engage problems of system, interconnection, and dispossession that remain our own. The authors reconsider Victorian literary structures in light of environmental catastrophe; coordinate “natural” questions with sociopolitical ones; and underscore the category of form as a means for generating environmental—and therefore political—knowledge. Moving from the elegy and the industrial novel to the utopian romance, the scientific treatise, and beyond, Ecological Form demonstrates how nineteenth-century thinkers conceptualized the circuits of extraction and violence linking Britain to its global network. Yet the book’s most pressing argument is that this past thought can be a resource for reimagining the present.

Heinrich Heine ist in den 1830er und 40er Jahren der erste und einzige deutsche Schriftsteller, der als Zeit- und Augenzeuge der politischen und industriell-technischen Doppelrevolution sein poetisch-essayistisch-kritisches Werk ganz der Erkundung der Signatur dieses Zeitalters widmet. Zunächst zeigt Großklaus, wie Heine die Bruchlinien des Fortschrittsprozesses deutlich nachzeichnet und inwiefern dies mit der choc-haften Innenwahrnehmung eines Zusammenbruchs der vertrauten raumzeitlichen Ordnung einhergeht. Der Einbruch der neuen »Bewegungsmaschinen« und des neuen technischen Bild- Mediums stellt dem politischen und gesellschaftlich-kulturellen Wandel des Weiteren eine neue poetische, chronotopologische Technik, eine ›materiale‹ technische Geschichte fortschreitender Verfügung über Raum, Zeit und Natur zur Seite. An die aus zerstörerischen Geschichtsprozessen rührenden Verlustängste ist für Heine stets die Klage über die Unerlöstheit des sexuellen Körpers geknüpft, sodass er schließlich als unerklärtes Mitglied einer nie formierten antiklassischen Avantgarde der Grenzgänger und Exilanten zu sehen ist, in deren universalistischem Geist er ein ambivalentes Bild einer globalen Moderne in ihrem Frühstadium zeichnet.
