Depictions of violence against animals were integral to the ideology of adventure literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, the evolutionary hierarchies on which such texts relied were complicated by developing environmental sensitivities and reimaginings of human selfhood in relation to animal others. As these texts hankered after increasingly imperilled areas of wilderness, the border between human and animal appeared tense, ambivalent and problematic.Anthem Nineteenth-Century SeriesEmpire & the Animal BodyEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismAdventure stories, EnglishHistory and criticismAnimals in literatureEcocriticismHuman-animal relationships in literatureEcology in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Adventure stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.Animals in literature.Ecocriticism.Human-animal relationships in literature.Ecology in literature.823/.809362Miller John1973-976324UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910461872203321Empire and the animal body2452647UNINA
