About the Book

English summary: The book provides insights into the social perception of environmental risks and their social impact during the first industrialization. It looks for the roots of our modern ecological consciousness in the cultural legacy of the long 19th century. It, therefore, employs prominent case studies from Europe and the United States, each grouping around a realist novel, a primary source of entertainment at the time. A reading of Charles Dickens, Wilhelm Raabe, and Upton Sinclair through an ecocritical lens reveals significant criticism of the shortcomings during their time. The intellectual protest manifests itself as an experimental, almost naturalistic and trendsetting writing style. At the same time, the individual writers propose solutions for the risk-laden environmental conditions with societal reconstruction at their center. Attentive contemporaries of the industrialization realized the necessity to address ecological and social problems jointly. Lacking political scope for environmental awareness, however, obstructed its social impact. This reinterpretation of several classics also draws on source material from personal correspondence or administrative files. The book makes a valuable contribution to the colorful and varied picture of the grand-parental generation of modern ecological thinking and action. German description: Umwelt im Roman gewahrt Einblicke in die gesellschaftliche Wahrnehmung von Umweltrisiken und deren soziale Auswirkungen wahrend der ersten Industrialisierung. Mit ihrem Buch sucht Agnes Limmer-Kneitz nach den Wurzeln unseres modernen okologischen Bewusstseins in den kulturellen Hinterlassenschaften des 'langen 19. Jahrhunderts'. Dazu bedient sie sich prominenter Fallbeispiele aus Europa und den Vereinigten, die sich jeweils um einen realistischen Roman entwickeln, der damals eine primare Unterhaltungsfunktion ubernahm. Charles Dickens, Wilhelm Raabe und Upton Sinclair werden mit oko-kritischer Brille gelesen, wodurch eine deutliche Kritik an den Missstanden der Zeit sichtbar wird. Kunstlerisch zeigt sich das intellektuelle Aufbegehren in einem experimentellen, fast naturalistischen Schreibstil, der als stilbildend gelten kann. Gleichzeitig warten die Schriftsteller mit Losungsvorschlagen fur die risikobeladenen Umweltzustande auf, in deren Zentrum ein gesellschaftlicher Umbau steht. Umweltprobleme und soziale Missstande sind nur gemeinsam losbar, das hatten die aufmerksamen Zeitgenossen der Industrialisierung erkannt. Allerdings fehlte der politische Handlungsspielraum fur Umweltbewusstsein, das folglich keine gesellschaftliche Breitenwirkung erzielte. Die von der Autorin vorgenommene Neuinterpretation der Klassiker stutzt sich auf Quellen aus personlicher Korrespondenz oder behordlichen Akten. Damit leistet das Buch einen wertvollen Beitrag zum bunten und abwechslungsreichen Bild der Groaelterngeneration modernen okologischen Denkens und Handelns.
