| Sumario: | Insofar as the field of Anthropocene studies would seem to invite (if not necessitate) large-scale or sweeping approaches like Reno's, Ross's I Charlotte Brontë at the Anthropocene i is counterintuitive inasmuch as it zooms in on the life and works of one Victorian woman. Exploring how "Charlotte Brontë wrote the Anthropocene at the scale of a lifetime", Ross demonstrates beautifully how the Anthropocene as ideational concept and material condition might be generatively evinced by and through small-scale, localized, materially situated methods of inquiry (5). Charlotte Brontë at the Anthropocene, by Shawna Ross; pp. vii + 326.
