This volume explores how twentieth- and twenty-first-century
literary texts engage with relationships between humans and other
animals. Written by forward-thinking early-career scholars, as well
as established experts in the field, the chapters discuss key texts
in the emergent canon of animal narratives, including Franz Kafka's
animal stories, Yann Martel's The Life of Pi, Zakes Mda's The Whale
Caller, and others. The volume is divided into four main sections.
Two period-focused sections center on modernism and on
late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction, while two further
sections foreground the more general project of theory building in
literary animal studies, examining interconnections among concepts
of species, sexuality, gender, and genre. The volume also raises
issues that extend beyond the academic community, including ethical
dimensions of human-animal relationships and the problems of
species loss and diminishing biodiversity.
