Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature: Reason, Emotion, and Ornithology, 1700–1840
Carey, Brycchan; Greenfield, Sayre; Milne, Anne
This book examines literary representations of birds from across the world in an
age of expanding European colonialism. It offers important new perspectives into
the ways birds populate and generate cultural meaning in a variety of literary and
non-literary genres from 1700–1840 as well as throughout a broad range of
ecosystems and bioregions. It considers a wide range of authors, including some
of the most celebrated figures in eighteenth-century literature such as John Gay,
Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Cowper, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Thomas Bewick, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, and
Gilbert White.
