Abstract

This article endeavours to analyse how Daisy Hildyard’s novel Emergency (2022) explores the complex and often ambivalent enmeshing of life on Earth, bared by climate change and the recent pandemic. It will also be shown how the author uses traditional modes (i.e. the pastoral) to revisit and expand its scope in a time when the global and the local are always encroaching on each other.
