An interdisciplinary social history, this book examines the major
pressures and influences that brought about the remarkable growth
of opposition to hunting in twentieth century England. With public
opinion consistently deciding from the middle of the century onward
that hunting mammals for sport was cruel and unacceptable, it would
appear that the controversy over hunting has all but been decided,
though hunting yet remains 'at bay'. Based on a range of cultural,
social, literary and political sources drawn from a variety of
academic disciplines, including history, sociology, geography,
psychology and anthropology, The History of Opposition to Blood
Sports in Twentieth Century England accounts for the change in our
relationship with animals that occurred in the course of the
twentieth century, shedding light on the manner in which this
resulted in the growth in opposition to hunting and other blood
sports. With evidence comprising a mixture of primary and secondary
historical sources, together with documentary films, opinion polls,
Mass Observation records, political party archives, and the
findings of sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and
geographers, this book will appeal to scholars and students across
the social sciences and historians with an interest in human-animal
relations.
