In Memorializing Animals, Pielak shows how animals have a place in the study of Romantic literature; their otherness provides the Romantics and us opportunities to rethink community and hospitality. - Ronald Broglio, Arizona State University

'[Pielak] provides us with a single sentence that effectively sums up his study: 'Inasmuch as Lamb created a space of animal friendship, Clare invited animals to share in communion and to mourn alongside humans, Coleridge sought the deadly beast to stave off corpse contagion, Byron could not maintain human life in light of animal bodies, and Wordsworth, haunted by animal voices, made a home for himself against the surfaces of animal bodies, so must we' (pp. 153-4). This directive is one we now need to appreciate and work to follow.' Review of English Studies
