Keenleyside focuses on writers who populate their poetry, novels, and children's stories with conspicuously figurative animals, experiment with conventional genres like the beast fable, and write the "lives" of mice as well as men. From such writers-including James Thomson, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, and others-she recovers a key insight about the representation of living beings: when we think and write about animals, we are never in the territory of strictly literal description, relying solely on the evidence of our senses. Indeed, any description of animals involves personification of a sort, if we understand personification not as a rhetorical ornament but as a fundamental part of our descriptive and conceptual repertoire, essential for distinguishing living beings from things. Throughout the book, animals are characterized by a distinctive mode of agency and generality; they are at once moving and being moved, at once individual beings and generic or species figures (every cat is also "The Cat"). Animals thus become figures with which to think about key philosophical questions about the nature of human agency and of social and political community. They also come into view as potential participants in that community, as one sort of "people" among others. Demonstrating the centrality of animals to an eighteenth-century literary and philosophical tradition, Animals and Other People also argues for the importance of this tradition to current discussions of what life is and how we might live together. 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAnimals in literature 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy) 606 $aHuman-animal relationships in literature 606 $aPersonification in literature 606 $aLiterary form$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAnimals in literature. 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy) 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships in literature. 615 0$aPersonification in literature. 615 0$aLiterary form$xHistory 676 $a820.9/36209033 700 $aKeenleyside$b Heather$01037577 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466087703321 996 $aAnimals and other people$92458638 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01732nam 2200409 n 450 001 996395041003316 005 20221108090504.0 035 $a(CKB)3810000000008848 035 $a(EEBO)2240917847 035 $a(UnM)9927654900971 035 $a(UnM)99825625 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000008848 100 $a19941031d1682 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aWoodhouse, 1682.
