Reading Literary Animals: Medieval to Modern de Karen L. Edwards

Reading Literary Animals: Medieval to Modern: Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture

Editat de Karen L. Edwards, Derek Ryan, Jane Spencer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 sep 2019
Reading Literary Animals explores the status and representation of animals in literature from the Middle Ages to the present day. Essays by leading scholars in the field examine various figurative, agential, imaginative, ethical, and affective aspects of literary encounters with animality, showing how practices of close reading provoke new ways of thinking about animals and the texts in which they appear. Through investigations of works by Shakespeare, Aphra Behn, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, and Ted Hughes, among many others, Reading Literary Animals demonstrates the value of distinctively literary animal studies.
