Klappentext Karen Raber is Professor of English at the University of Mississippi and author of Dramatic Difference: Gender, Class, and Genre in the Early Modern Closet Drama. "Materialist scholarship has been fascinated by bodies in recent decades, yet has neglected to consider embodiment exactly where it seems likely to be especially helpful: in the ecocritical study of our connections with other animals. Karen Raber resolves that paradox and solves many of the problems it reflects, in a highly readable study with vivid instances and large implications."-Robert N. Watson, University of California, Los Angeles Zusammenfassung Animal Bodies! Renaissance Culture reconsiders interactions between environment! body! and consciousness found in early modern works! from More's Utopia and Shakespeare's Hamlet to husbandry manuals! anatomy texts! and horsemanship treatises.
