Civilised by beasts tells the story of nineteenth-century Dublin
through human-animal relationships. It offers a unique perspective
on ordinary life in the Irish metropolis during a century of
significant change and reform. At its heart is the argument that
the exploitation of animals formed a key component of urban change,
from municipal reform to class formation to the expansion of public
health and policing. It uses a social history approach but draws on
a range of new and underused sources, including archives of the
humane society and the zoological society, popular songs, visual
ephemera and diaries. The book moves chronologically from 1830 to
1900, with each chapter focusing on specific animals and their
relationship to urban changes. It will appeal to anyone fascinated
by the history of cities, the history of Dublin or the history of
Ireland. -- .
