The intersection of modernist studies and critical animal studies
is a new, progressive field that raises crucial questions about
what it means to live with animals in modernity. Beastly Modernisms
gathers essays from leading figures in the field alongside emerging
scholars who, together, revisit canonical figures and decentre the
canons and geographies of modernism. Grounded in interdisciplinary
approaches, the contributions work with cultural history and
theoretical frameworks to unearth the multispecies dynamics of
twentieth-century literature and culture. The chapters in Beastly
Modernisms present a diverse range of approaches and topics,
exploring dogs in Virginia Woolf to Republican China, animals and
gender in surrealism to African-American texts, Sami reindeer to
rat propaganda, modernist jellyfish to metamodernist beasts, 1940s
poetry to Indian Partition stories, charting the current and future
state of modernist animal studies.
