Bloomsbury, Beasts and British Modernist Literature reveals how the
Bloomsbury group's fascination with beasts - from pests to pets,
tiny insects to big game - became an integral part of their
critique of modernity and conceptualisation of more-than-human
worlds. Through a series of close readings, it argues that for
Leonard Woolf, David Garnett, Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster,
profound shifts in interspecies relations were intimately connected
to questions of imperialism, race, gender, sexuality and
technology. Whether in their hunting narratives, zoo fictions,
canine biographies or (un)entomological aesthetics, these writers
repeatedly test the boundaries between, and imagine transformations
of, human and nonhuman by insisting that we attend to the material
contexts in which they meet. In demonstrating this, the book
enrichens our understanding of British modernism while intervening
in debates on the cultural significance of animality from the turn
of the twentieth century to the Second World War.
