It offers important new perspectives into the ways birds populate and generate cultural meaning in a variety of literary and non-literary genres from 1700-1840 as well as throughout a broad range of ecosystems and bioregions. It considers a wide range of authors, including some of the most celebrated figures in eighteenth-century literature such as John Gay, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Cowper, Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Bewick, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, and Gilbert White. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,$x2634-6346 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y18th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aFiction 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aFiction. 615 14$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 676 $a809.9336 676 $a809.41 702 $aCarey$b Brycchan 702 $aGreenfield$b Sayre 702 $aMilne$b Anne 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483874703321 996 $aBirds in eighteenth-century literature$92073369 997 $aUNINA
