Extraction ecologies and the literature of the long exhaustion
Résumé
In this well-researched work Miller (Univ. of California, Davis) demonstrates the perspicacity of certain British authors who witnessed first-hand the reception of industry mining based on fossil fuels. Examining British novels written from the 1830s to the 1930s, Miller illustrates a gradually rising concern over the downsides of forceful extraction of fuel, minerals, and ore from nonrenewable natural resources, including the detrimental effects of the removal on local communities. She does smart work on Charles Dickens's Hard Times, George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss, D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and later works such as H. G. Wells's The Time Machine and J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
