The temporal structures of provincial realist novels set in extraction landscapes convey the new understanding of futurity that attended the nineteenth-century rise of an industrial system powered by a nonrenewable, diminishing stock of underground resources. Focusing on Joseph Conrad'sNostromo(1904), George Eliot'sThe Mill on the Floss(1860), and Fanny Mayne'sJane Rutherford; Or, the Miners' Strike(1853), this article demonstrates how these works adapt the provincial realist novel's emphasis on social renewal by way of marriage, reproduction, and inheritance to the extraction-based society of industrial Britain, undergirded by a trajectory of depletion and exhaustion rather than renewal. These works' deviation from novelistic chrononormativity expresses a new understanding of an extraction-based present that is claimed at the expense of future generations.

钻，宝贝，钻：省现实主义小说中的提取生态、开放时间和生殖未来

以开采景观为背景的省级现实主义小说的时间结构传达了对未来的新理解，这种理解伴随着 19 世纪由不可再生的、不断减少的地下资源存量驱动的工业系统的兴起。专注于约瑟夫康拉德的诺斯特罗莫（1904 年），乔治·艾略特的牙线上的磨坊（1860 年）和范妮·梅恩的简·卢瑟福；或者，矿工罢工（1853 年），本文展示了这些作品如何将省级现实主义小说对通过婚姻、再生产和继承进行社会更新的强调适应工业化英国以榨取为基础的社会，其基础是耗竭和衰竭而不是更新。这些作品偏离了小说的时间规范性，表达了对以牺牲后代为代价的基于提取的现在的新理解。
