The contributors illustrate how the cultural production of the period - in manuals, treatises, sermons, travelogues and fiction - grappled with environmental catastrophe. Crucially, they interrogate how people in the early modern era rationalized and mediated the threat of events like plagues, great frosts, storms, floods and earthquakes. A vital contribution to environmental history, this book highlights the parallels between early modern responses to natural disaster and climate anxiety in our own era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e​Sandhya Patel\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century Studies at Université Clermont Auvergne, France. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSophie Chiari-Lasserre\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Early Modern English Literature at Université Clermont Auvergne, France.","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278741921943,"sku":"9783031121227","price":8814.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031121227.webp?v=1769291758","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-writing-of-natural-disaster-in-europe-1500-1826-events-in-excess-9783031121227","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
