About This Book
'A brilliant analysis of the ambiguous boundaries that separate
and bind humans and animals' - The Irish Times, Dublin
Animal assesses the way we live with animals, examining the paradoxes of
our relationships with them. Why is the pet that sits by the dinner
table as we consume other kinds of meat never for eating? What does it
mean to wear fake fur? Why are animals such a constant presence in
childrenĄ¯s literature and films? Drawing examples from literature, film,
science, advertising, fashion, and philosophy, Animal argues that we
canĄ¯t think about animals without thinking about ourselves, challenging
a number of assumptions and making us reconsider a wide range of ethical
issues.
Erica Fudge is Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities and Cultural

Animals: Humans and Beasts in Early Modern English Culture (1999).
