Shelley and the Revolution in Taste : The Body and the Natural World

Omtale

This book brings together the themes of diet, consumption, the body, and human relationships with the natural world, in a highly original study of the poet Shelley, a campaigning vegetarian and proto-ecological thinker. Morton offers an illuminatingly broad context for his views in eighteenth-century social and political thought concerning the place of humans in nature, culture, and society.
