FA22 - ENGL 578 - John Barnard Meets With CWL 571 : Comparative Literature and Economy in the Long Nineteenth Century Climate change is generally figured as an ecological emergency, but that emergency is rooted in an economic system. This course will approach the history of climate through the history of that economic system. More specifically, it will offer a comparative study of economic thinking—mainly about capitalism and its alternatives—in the nineteenth-century literary and political writings of Europe and the United States. Authors might include Olaudah Equiano, Honoré de Balzac, Karl Marx, Herman Melville, Elizabeth Gaskell, Émile Zola, and Edith Wharton, along with contemporary writings on the relation between political economy and ecological emergency.
