Reviews
'Danahay and Morse have provided Victorianists and students of animal studies with a valuable and timely collection. Ranging from studies of beetlemania to elephant slaughter and the market for whale meat, the diverse essays included here illuminate the complexities of Victorian love of and desire for dominance over the natural world.' Barbara T. Gates, University of Delaware, USA '... a particularly welcome addition to Victorian scholarship and to the emerging field of animal studies ... Uniformly well written and engaged with emerging scholarship on the Victorians and animals, these essays address a variety of canonical and noncanonical texts from the Victorian age. Recommended.' Choice '... essential reading for all scholars in animal studies ... anyone who teaches the subject will certainly find things in here to recommend to students ...' British Society for Literature and Science 'If one wanted to begin a research project, design a seminar, or write a lecture on Victorian animals, this volume would be an excellent place to start. ... all of the essays in the collection uncover valuable new material. ... Overall, the collection presents an admirable scholarly depth and purchase on historical and literary detail, suggesting that this new field of Victorian animal studies has reached a point of substantive maturity and that it deserves serious attention and wider recognition among Victorianists.'
