The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Animals surveys the role
of animals across literary history and opens conversations on what
literature can teach us about more-than-human life. Leading
international scholars comprehensively explore how engaging with
creatures of various kinds alters our understanding of what it
means to write and read, and why this is important for thinking
about a series of cultural, ethical, political, and scientific
developments and controversies. The first part of the book offers
historically rooted arguments about medieval metamorphosis, early
modern fleshiness, eighteenth-century imperialism, Romantic
sympathy, Victorian racial politics, modernist otherness and
contemporary forms. The second part poses questions that cut across
periods, concerning habitat and extinction, captivity and
spectatorship, race and (post-)coloniality, sexuality and gender,
religion and law, health and wealth. In doing so, this companion
places animals at the centre of literary studies and literature at
the heart of urgent debates in the growing field of animal studies.
