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. 410 0$aAnthem Nineteenth-Century Series 517 3 $aEmpire & the Animal Body 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAdventure stories, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnimals in literature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aHuman-animal relationships in literature 606 $aEcology in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAdventure stories, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnimals in literature. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships in literature. 615 0$aEcology in literature. 676 $a823/.809362 700 $aMiller$b John$f1973-$0976324 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461872203321 996 $aEmpire and the animal body$92452647 997 $aUNINA
