The material conditions of the early modern world brought humans and animals into complex interspecies relationships that have not been fully accounted for in critical readings of the period's philosophical, scientific, or literary representations of animals. Where such prior readings have focused on the role of reason in debates about human exceptionalism, this book turns instead to a series of cultural sites in which we find animal and human bodies sharing environments, mutually transforming and defining one another's lives. To uncover the animal body's role in anatomy, eroticism, architecture, labor, and consumption, Karen Raber analyzes canonical works including More's Utopia, Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet, and Sidney's poetry, situating them among readings of human and equine anatomical texts, medical recipes, theories of architecture and urban design, husbandry manuals, and horsemanship treatises. Raber reconsiders interactions between environment, body, and consciousness that we find in early modern human-animal relations. Scholars of the Renaissance period recognized animals' fundamental role in fashioning what we call "culture," she demonstrates, providing historical narratives about embodiment and the cultural constructions of species difference that are often overlooked in ecocritical and posthumanist theory that attempts to address the "question of the animal." 410 0$aHaney Foundation series. 606 $aAnimal intelligence$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAnimal intelligence$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy)$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy)$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aHuman beings$xAnimal nature$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aHuman beings$xAnimal nature$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnimal intelligence$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aAnimal intelligence$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy)$xHistory 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy)$xHistory 615 0$aHuman beings$xAnimal nature$xHistory 615 0$aHuman beings$xAnimal nature$xHistory 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships$xHistory 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships$xHistory 676 $a113/.8 700 $aRaber$b Karen$f1961-$01042408 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463025803321 996 $aAnimal bodies, Renaissance culture$92466617 997 $aUNINA
