Energy, Ecocriticism, and Nineteenth-Century Fiction: Novel Ecologies draws on energy concepts to revisit some of our favorite books—Mansfield Park, Jane Eyre, Great Expectations, and The War of the Worlds—and the ways these shape our sense of ourselves as ecological beings.

Every time an old and much-missed music vanguard is returning, especially when it is armed with new music to boot, the arrival becomes a cause for celebration. Just like how stout enthusiasts of Alternative Rock music should be feeling excited for the resurgence of The Breeders’ classic lineup of Kim Deal (lead vocals, guitar), Josephine Wiggs (bass, vocals), Jim Macpherson (drums, percussion), and Kelley Deal (lead guitar, vocals), with also a new album in tow. With "All Nerve’s" twists and turns, signals and noises, and trademark aural dynamics, The Breeders are definitely back. Despite the ’90s Alternative Rock sonic regalia that they wear like a badge of honor, they are also equally proud to adorn themselves with the current paraphernalia of the genre that they helped propel quarter of a century ago.
