Life, Re-Scaled: The Biological Imagination in Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance

What kind of character is a microbe? How can an ecosystem take to the stage? Do springtails make good protagonists for detective novels? Life, Re-Scaled explores how contemporary literature and performance engage with our century’s shifting views of life.
