It combines literary criticism, cultural history and the rapidly expanding field of human\/animal studies by tracing the creative representation of the greyhound, from the earliest references in classical myth to multiple appearances in contemporary literature, performance and the fine arts. Each representation—whether of hunter or racer, of pet or predator—is treated not simply as a stage in some inevitable humanitarian progression but as part of a series of co-evolutionary exchanges between humans and their canine collaborators that together constitute a shared experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWriters who have been fascinated by greyhounds range from Shakespeare to Dryden, from William Wordsworth to George Meredith, from Marcel Proust to Colette, from William Butler Yeats to Ted Hughes and beyond. The haunting image of the breed has inspired artists such as Dürer, Hogarth and Giacometti.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-02-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031789946\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-78995-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 348\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45549080150156,"sku":"9783031789946","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031789946.jpg?v=1772933007","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031789946","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
