Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Geology: Describing in Simple but Exact Language the Making of the Earth With Some Account of Prehistoric Animal Life Holland. The North Sea was once dry land. But the sea encroached on it from the north, and the Atlantic Ocean battered a way through on the south, till the English Channel was bored through into the shallow waters of the newly-formed North Sea, and the lands that had once been part of Europe became these sceptred isles set in the silver sea. This is not all the story. What the sea takes away it gives again. Sir Thomas Holdich is our authority for saying that on some parts of the Pacific coast of America you may at some points see on the one hand dry land which by the shells found on it shows that the sea once flowed over it; while side by side with this raised land you may sail a boat over forests now sunk beneath the sea. The loss of bits and corners of England is serious so serious that a Royal Commission on Sea Erosion, as the process is called, was appointed to inquire into the extent of the loss and the means by which it might be remedied. But in some parts of our coast the land is not losing, but gaining. If the sea takes away sand and gravel, chalk and shale and clay from the cliffs, these materials are not lost. Something is done with them. They must at some points, where the tides and currents of the sea deposit them, make the sea more shallow. Perhaps the sea lays them down as beds or sand-banks. Perhaps it carries them round the coast to some other point and there drops them. Can you not see that in this way the sea which at one point is dragging down the coast may at other points be building it up, or may be even con structing breakwaters made out of these stolen materials?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are rocks and landforms so prominent in British Romantic poetry? Why, for example, does Shelley choose a mountain as the locus of a "voice... to repeal / large codes of fraud and woe"? Why does a cliff, in the boat-stealing episode of Wordsworth's Prelude, chastise the young thief? Why is petrifaction, or "stonifying," in Blake's coinage, the ultimate figure of dehumanization? Noah Heringman maintains that British literary culture was fundamentally shaped by many of the same forces that created geology as a science in the period 1770–1820. He shows that landscape aesthetics—the verbal and social idiom of landscape gardening, natural history, the scenic tour, and other forms of outdoor "improvement"—provided a shared vernacular for geology and Romanticism in their formative stages.Romantic Rocks, Aesthetic Geology reexamines a wide range of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century poetry to discover its relationship to a broad cultural consensus on the nature and value of rocks and landforms. Equally interested in the initial surge of curiosity about the earth and the ensuing process of specialization, Heringman contributes to a new understanding of literature as a key forum for the modern reorganization of knowledge.
