Analysis of Romanticism and ecology through a marxist lens, which renders the analysis rather pointless as romanticism opposes marxism, as much as it opposes all aspects of life becoming consumed into a market framework. It is tiresome that marxist thinking consumes so much of academia – turning it into a ‘one trick pony’. This, I thought analysed an alternative framework – rather it is marxists who seek to co-opt and claim the romantics. Full of tropes, starting with the distancing of marx from USSR. Quite disappointed. (The romantics, certainly in the english sphere are more aligned to the distributist ethos, not marxism).
