      abstract = {This book explores reactions to and representations of  natural disasters in early modern Europe. The contributors  illustrate how the cultural production of the period - in  manuals, treatises, sermons, travelogues and fiction -  grappled with environmental catastrophe. Crucially, they  interrogate how people in the early modern era rationalized  and mediated the threat of events like plagues, great  frosts, storms, floods and earthquakes. A vital  contribution to environmental history, this book highlights  the parallels between early modern responses to natural  disaster and climate anxiety in our own era. Sandhya Patel  is Senior Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century Studies at  Universite Clermont Auvergne, France. Sophie  Chiari-Lasserre is Professor of Early Modern English  Literature at Universite Clermont Auvergne, France.},
