It (nearly) lives! Forthcoming from OUP in November or December! My first reaction, for once, was glee — though the terror of writing a book is that it’s never finished. Eek! Woohoo! Wild to have proofs in hand!!!!
Title page of forthcoming book by me, titled Nineteenth-Century Poetry and Cosmologies of the Human: Worlds Unmanned. From Oxford UP.Table of contents for forthcoming book.

Introduction: Poetry, Person, Planet — with subsections on William Wordsworth; Sylvia Wynter and lyricization; climate, affectability, impress; and criticism, canonicity, and counterbumanism. 

First chapter on Wordsworth, Charles Lyell, and c19 manscapes — with subsections on Wordsworth’s and Lyell’s lyric theologies, the pathetic fallacy (Ruskin) and Wynter on desperate realization, and apostrophizing Toussaint Louverture. 

Second chapter on Tennyson’s In Memoriam, the possibilities and limits of posthumanism, and ambivalent reading — with subsections on extinction and apostrophe. 

Third chapter on Elizabeth Barrett Browning, the problem of reference, and infrastructures of reading — with subsections on Swedenborgianism, sphericity, plantation inheritances, and the slippages of rhyme. 

Fourth chapter on Phillis Wheatley, extractivism, extractionist reading, and salvage criticism—with subsections on solar intergumanism, allusion, reticence, and refusal. 

Coda on contemporary representations of climate collapse, Wynter on transumption, and the afterlives of c19 aesthetic imaginaries.

As a footnote will add that, not-dissimilarly, James Ferguson describes the psychic rifts that result when ideas of development + growth propagated by a liberal-bourgeois tradition confront the boom & bust realities of extractive economies—& he tells it not from the Musk (owners') POV but from below

My book, Probable Exhaustion, posits that literary texts of the long 19th c help us trace how a conception of progress welded to infinite growth and development is unthinkable outside of the threat of exhaustion. Will be out with @cornellupress.bsky.social Jan 15, 2027

Thinking, for no particular reason, of Michael Tondre's excellent account of Victorian/Energy Studies, ruminating on relation between the founding of *Victorian Studies* journal and Suez Crisis
Passage from Tondre, "Post Carbon Victorian Studies": "The year 1957 also saw Victorian Studies’s advent as our field’s flagship journal. And yet, as the Suez Canal crisis rocked energy markets and Saudi Arabia unlocked the world’s largest oil field, Victorian studies specialists muted their attention to energy. The Industrial Revolution, ritualistically noted as a founding fact of the Victorian era, was subordinated to the goal of adducing a more ineffable identity that transcended any vulgar materialist account. Why was that?"

Wuthering Heights is at its heart a story of class and race. Emerald Fennell has got it all wrong | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
By turning the novel into just a corset-heaving love story, the director has stripped it of what made it so boundary-pushing, says Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
