Reviews
Animals in Victorian Literature and Culture: Contexts for Criticism ... contribute to the entangled history of human-animal relations in nineteenth- century Britain and illuminate the role of culture in its entanglements. ... the literary representation of animals makes visible the fictionality of our relation to animals: animals are real, to be sure, but that seems incidental to the ways in which we relate to them. (Mario Ortiz-Robles, Victorian Studies, Vol. 61 (1), 2019) Thanks to the excellent editorial work of Mazzeno (president emer., Alvernia Univ.) and Morrison (Morehead State Univ.), this assemblage of essays about the depiction and treatment of animals in the Victorian era adds a significant dimension to the growing interdisciplinary research on the subject. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers. (L. A. Brewer, Choice, Vol. 55 (10), June, 2018)
