Written by forward-thinking early-career scholars, as well as established experts in the field, the chapters discuss key texts in the emergent canon of animal narratives, including Franz Kafka's animal stories, Yann Martel's The Life of Pi, Zakes Mda's The Whale Caller, and others. The volume is divided into four main sections. Two period-focused sections center on modernism and on late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction, while two further sections foreground the more general project of theory building in literary animal studies, examining interconnections among concepts of species, sexuality, gender, and genre. The volume also raises issues that extend beyond the academic community, including ethical dimensions of human-animal relationships and the problems of species loss and diminishing biodiversity. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,$x2634-6346 606 $aLiterature 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 14$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 676 $a809/.93362 700 $aHerman$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0932449 702 $aHerman$b David$f1962- 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255228903321 996 $aCreatural Fictions$92526114 997 $aUNINA
