- Title
The Ecologies of Choice in Trollope's The Fixed Period.
- Authors
Garcha, Amanpal
- Abstract
This essay shows that contemporary ecocriticism articulates capitalist ideas about the relationship between individual choice and value first explored by Victorian fiction and political economy. Through an analysis of Anthony Trollope's 1882 speculative novel The Fixed Period, which focuses on the politics of population growth, it critically examines the ecological implications of Victorian realist novels' representations of individual agency, social regulation, and decision-making.
