In Chaos and Cosmos, Heidi Scott integrates literary readings with contemporary eco-
logical methods to investigate two essential and contrasting paradigms of nature that
scientific ecology continues to debate: chaos and balance. Ecological literature of the
Romantic and Victorian eras uses environmental chaos and the figure of the balanced
microcosm as tropes essential to understanding natural patterns, and these eras were
the first to reflect upon the ecological degradations of the Industrial Revolution. Chaos
and Cosmos contends that the seed of imagination that would enable a scientist to
study a lake as a microcosmic world at the formal, empirical level was sown by Ro-
mantic and Victorian poets who consciously drew a sphere around their perceptions
in order to make sense of spots of time and place amid the globalizing modern world.
This study s interest goes beyond likening literary tropes to scientific aesthetics; it
aims to theorize the interdisciplinary history of the concepts that underlie our scien-
tific understanding of modern nature. Paradigmatic ecological ideas such as ecosys-
tems, succession dynamics, punctuated equilibrium, and climate change are shown
to have a literary foundation that preceded their status as theories in science. This
book represents an elevation of the prospects of ecocriticism toward fully developed
interdisciplinary potentials of literary ecology.
