Published: May 9, 2011, midnight

b'In a unique approach to exploring transformations in land use, Carson Fellow Anne Milne uses poetry from the laboring class in eighteenth century Britain to understand different perceptions of nature during this era. These poets were often described as \\u201cnatural geniuses.\\u201d Milne considers how nature figured in the representation of these poets as individuals; her work also aims to track changes in land use. Anne Milne is an ecocritic who specializes in restoration and eighteenth-century British literature. She currently teaches in the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Guelph, Canada.'
