The Flowers Opened the Way
In an Arctic world dominated by ice and enlivened by the dynamic movements of animals, plants are easily overlooked, yet their colorful presence has attracted and arrested the movements of a wide range of travelers. This essay redirects attention to Arctic plants and their unique temporal and spatial scales, communities, and adaptations, which give them surprising roles in shaping Arctic places and human experiences. Looking at the works of ninet…

Writing Arctic Disaster
The Cambridge Companion to ‘Frankenstein
The Cambridge Companion to Frankenstein consists of sixteen original essays on Mary Shelley's novel by leading scholars, providing an invaluable introduction to Frankenstein and its various critical contexts.

The Franklin Relics in the Arctic Archive
In August 2013 the Canadian government launched its largest search for the ships, relics, and records of the John Franklin expedition, which disappeared with all 129 hands lost searching for the Northwest Passage in 1845. Canada's latest search was its fifth in six years, one of dozens of search expeditions launched since 1848, in a well-known story of imperial hubris elevated to an international cause célèbre . Recent work in nineteenth-century …
Oceanic voyages, maritime books, and eccentric inscriptions
What does the history of exploration look like when approached from a different disciplinary perspective, that of the history of books? Focusing on the long eighteenth century, this essay reframes exploration histories that typically retrace continuities between explorers, by focusing instead on the discontinuities in the changing conditions of authorship and publication. Specifically, the essay considers the convergence of exploration and book h…
The Disorder of Things
The Disorder of Things Luisa Calè and Adriana Craciun . . . the real, geographic and terrestrial space in which we find ourselves confronts us with creatures that are interwoven with one another, in an order which, in relation to the great network of taxonomies, is nothing more than chance, disorder, or turbulence. —Michel Foucault, The Order of Things1 This special issue is an invitation to engage with the possibilities of disorder. Our entry po…
The Scramble for the Arctic
This essay situtates the intensifying scramble for the Arctic in a larger historical and disciplinary framework, in order to make a case for the Arctic's underestimated significance in current social and cultural models of the global and the “planetary.” Focusing on circumpolarity as configured in early modern exploration, Enlightement science, and twentieth-century indigenous and governmental institutions, the essay suggests that the circumpolar…
Citizens of the World
Romantic Satanism and the Rise of Nineteenth-Century Women's Poetry
This essay proposes a reassessment of nineteenth-century British women's poetry, challenging prevailing teleological models of literary history in order to resist the illusion of feminist progress from the Romantic to the Victorian period. Although overshadowed in current critical accounts that focus largely on the Corinne/Sappho/Eve models of the fallen (distinctly sexualized) woman artist, Milton's Satan offered an equally important (and stubbo…
