Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2008 The period of the
Enlightenment saw great changes in the way animals were seen. The
codifying and categorising impulse of the age of reason saw sharp
lines drawn between different animal species and between animals
and humans. In 1600, "beasts" were still seen as the foils and
adversaries of human reason, By 1800, animals had become exemplars
of sentiment and compassion, the new standards of truth and morals.
A new age had dawned, a time when humans admired animals and sought
to recover their own animality. As with all the volumes in the
illustrated Cultural History of Animals, this volume presents an
overview of the period and continues with essays on the position of
animals in contemporary Symbolism, Hunting, Domestication, Sports
and Entertainment, Science, Philosophy, and Art. Volume 4 in the
Cultural History of Animals edited by Linda Kalof and Brigitte Resl
