This book explores the role of animals - horses, cattle, sheep,
pigs and dogs - in shaping Georgian London. Moving away from the
philosophical, fictional and humanitarian sources used by previous
animal studies, it focuses on evidence of tangible,
dung-bespattered interactions between real people and animals,
drawn from legal, parish, commercial, newspaper and private
records.This approach opens up new perspectives on unfamiliar or
misunderstood metropolitan spaces, activities, social types,
relationships and cultural developments. Ultimately, the book
challenges traditional assumptions about the industrial,
agricultural and consumer revolutions, as well as key aspects of
the city's culture, social relations and physical development. It
will be stimulating reading for students and professional scholars
of urban, social, economic, agricultural, industrial, architectural
and environmental history. -- .
