Description
An Introduction to the Blue Humanities explores how humans engage with water through literary, cultural, historical, and theoretical connections. This textbook introduces students to the history and theory of water-centric thinking, using a range of primary and secondary sources.
Comprising chapters on major oceanic regions, geographies, and physical properties of water, this book provides a fresh look at the Blue Humanities. It engages with carefully chosen primary texts, including works by Herman Melville, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Homer, and Luis Vaz de Camões, to offer a perfect pedagogy for students.
Readers will gain insight into new trends in intellectual culture and the enduring history of humans thinking with and about water. This volume provides new avenues for future thinking and investigation of the Blue Humanities, making it ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses engaging with environmental humanities and oceanic literature.
