Moving away from the philosophical, fictional and humanitarian sources used by previous animal studies, it focuses on evidence of tangible, dung-bespattered interactions between real people and animals, drawn from legal, parish, commercial, newspaper and private records.This approach opens up new perspectives on unfamiliar or misunderstood metropolitan spaces, activities, social types, relationships and cultural developments. Ultimately, the book challenges traditional assumptions about the industrial, agricultural and consumer revolutions, as well as key aspects of the city's culture, social relations and physical development. It will be stimulating reading for students and professional scholars of urban, social, economic, agricultural, industrial, architectural and environmental history.Human-animal relationshipsEnglandLondonHistory18th centuryAnimalsEnglandLondonHistory18th centuryBritish Industrial Revolution.Eighteenth-century Britain.Eighteenth-century consumption.English agricultural revolution.Horse history.Human-animal interactions.Livestock history.Non-human agents.Urban environmental history.Urban farming.Human-animal relationshipsHistoryAnimalsHistory615.85158Almeroth-Williams Thomas1687817MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910819668403321City of beasts4061588UNINA
