Illustrating a new methodology identified as animality studies, The
Birth of a Jungle explores animality at the turn of the twentieth
century in the U.S.-a moment when shifts in what it meant to be
both human and animal produced new ways of thinking about various
human behaviors, including homosexuality, labor exploitation, and
the lynching of black men. Throughout the study, Michael Lundblad
explores what he identifies as the discourse of the jungle:
Darwinist-Freudian constructions of human behavior that could be
explained by animal instincts that were supposedly naturally
violent in the name of survival and heterosexual in the name of
reproduction. These new formulations were often contested rather
than reinforced, however, in Progressive-Era literary and cultural
texts. The Birth of a Jungle ultimately reveals the significance of
animality in relation to the history of sexuality, literary
naturalism, and critical race studies, while highlighting how the
discourse of the jungle remains a disturbing yet powerful presence
today.
