The Cambridge History of Australian Poetry
The Cambridge History of Australian Poetry offers an authoritative and comprehensive engagement with poetries that range from some of the world's oldest to significant innovations of the twenty-first century.

Frankenscription, a natural history of poetry
Learning to read as a young child, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin would trace out the letters inscribed on the headstone of her mother’s grave in St Pancras: “MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT GODWIN / Author of / A
The Romanthropocene
The Romanthropocene is a neologism that names the transits of meaning which shuttle between the terms it joins together. I explore this complex of meaning by retracing the histories of its component lexical, semantic, and conceptual elements. The word Anthropocene is constructed from two etyma, anthropos and cene , which first acquired their current sense in the Romantic period. The Anthropocene then brings together a Romantic conception of geolo…
A Cultural History of Climate Change
Acknowledging that the climate is cultural compels us to rethink many of our existing means of historical understanding. This book uniquely examines climate change from transdisciplinary perspectives across the environmental humanities
The Natural History of Aesthetics
Art has been crucial for Western philosophy roughly since Kant – that is, for what is becoming known as “correlationist” philosophy – because it has so often had assigned to it a singular ontological status. The artwork, in this view, is material being that has been transfigured and shot through with subjectivity. The work of art, what art does and how it works have all been understood as mediating between the otherwise irreconcilable opposites o…
Conceptual Poetry, Nonconceptual Poetry, Postconceptual Poetry
In the Anthropocene, collective human action has acquired the scale of a planetary geological force. The Anthropocene concept impels the rethinking of many assumptions and ideas that have long been foundational for humanities disciplines. These include some of Western philosophy's central aesthetic categories, and it is here that my essay seeks to intervene. What critical purchase does the literature of ideas offer in the Anthropocene? How might …
Poetry's Media
Anglophone modernist poetics set out to construct poems that were things just like the other things of the world. It was a project of recapturing solidity and objectivity for poetry. In consequence, it confronted with new urgency the question of poetry's media: it was forced to clarify what the raw material of a poem actually was. Because English exists in more than one material mode-it is "verbivocovisual"-most poets understood poetry to be a mi…

Mary Wollstonecraft and the Motherhood of Feminism
Mary Wollstonecraft and the Motherhood of Feminism Thomas H. Ford (bio) 1 For modern feminism, maternity has often appeared to be a lure or a trap. As mothers, women risk being defined primarily in terms of sexual reproduction in a cultural dynamic that overwhelms the possibility of female autonomy and self-determination. And yet, at the same time, the language of motherhood has been central to the way modern feminism has understood its own histo…
