Introduction -- Chapter 1: The Commodity Frontier and Its Secret -- Chapter 2 Romance and Revolt -- Chapter 3: Working-Class Writers and Frontier Modernisms -- Chapter 4: The 'Mangled' Body: Between Paid and Unpaid Work -- Chapter 5: 'Its mass that counts': Strikes and Unemployment on the Commodity Frontier -- Chapter 6: Revisiting Romance: Representation and the New Ecology Regim.

'This brilliant monograph offers dazzling readings of the aesthetics of sugar, cacao, coal, and oil in fiction and poetry from Trinidad, Brazil and Britain. Its analysis draws on cutting-edge world-ecology scholarship, significantly advancing theoretical understanding of key concepts such as the "commodity frontier." The book also contributes substantially to the study of peripheral realisms and modernisms, assembling a rich corpus of canonical texts and understudied writing. It promises to become a field-defining classic of comparative environmental literary criticism.' -Dr. Sharae Deckard, University College Dublin, Ireland. 'This is the book I have been waiting for: a comparative literary study grounded not in nation-states but in the world's commodity enclaves. Moving adroitly between the coal pits of Wales, cacao fields of Brazil and sugar plantations of Trinidad, Niblett uncovers and brilliantly analyzes a global literature of commodity frontiers and their environmental effects.' - Ericka Beckman, Associate Professor, University of Pennsylvania, USA, and author of Capital Fictions: The Literature of Latin America's Export Age (2012) Located at the intersection of world-literary studies and the environmental humanities, this book analyses how fiction and poetry respond to the ecological transformations entailed by commodity frontiers. Examining the sugar, cacao, coal, and oil frontiers in Trinidad, Brazil, and Britain, World Literature and Ecology shows how literary texts have registered the relationship between the re-making of biophysical natures and struggles around class, race, and gender. It combines a materialist theory of world-literature with the insights of the world-ecology perspective to generate compelling new readings of writers such as Rhys Davies, Yseult Bridges, Lewis Jones, Jose Lins do Rego, Ellen Wilkinson, Jorge Amado, Gwyn Thomas, and Ralph de Boissiere. The book represents a timely intervention into a series of field-defining debates around peripheral realisms and modernisms, ecocriticism, and the energy humanities.
