 amp\; 18th-Century Studies and William Andrews Clark Memorial Library wil
 l host the Core Program entitled “Victorian Apocalypse: The siècle 
 at Its fin.” This program of lectures and presentations aims to reass
 ess the ways in which the 1890s in particular as an era has strong assoc
 iations with theories of decadence\, degeneration\, and disease. “Victor
 ian Apocalypse” will draw attention to the significance of UCLA’s 
 unrivaled collections relating to the 1890s\, especially the life and work
  of Oscar Wilde\, which are held at the Clark Library.\n\nIn The Birth of
  Energy: Fossil Fuels\, Thermodynamics\, and the Politics of Work (2019)\,
  Cara New Daggett identifies the Victorian era as the beginning of the “
 ideational” Anthropocene\, a “dawning consciousness” that human-indu
 strial impacts “might be planetary and truly catastrophic.” This round
 table showcases new approaches to Victorian literature and culture that ad
 dress this rising sense of the inseparability of the social and natural wo
 rlds. In dialogue with Elizabeth Carolyn Miller’s new book Extraction Ec
 ologies and the Literature of the Long Exhaustion (2021)\, the scholars on
  this panel reexamine the Victorian period through the lenses of climate c
 hange\, infrastructure studies\, and the energy humanities\, focusing on t
 he socio-ecological impacts of extraction and industry in the nineteenth c
 entury and beyond.\n\nPanelists:\nModerator - Neil Hultgren\, California S
 tate University\, Long Beach\nDevin Griffiths\, University of Southern Cal
 ifornia\nNathan K. Hensley\, Georgetown University\nSusan Zieger\, Univers
 ity of California\, Riverside\nRespondent - Elizabeth Carolyn Miller\, Uni
 versity of California\, Davis\n\n\n\nImage: Black Country Landscape by Edw
