Table of Contents
The Palgrave Handbook of Animals and Literature provides the first comprehensive guide to current research in literary animal studies. Mirroring the institutional-structural identity of literary studies more generally, the volume is organized roughly chronologically from Old English, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Romantic, Victorian, Fin-de-siecle, and Modern periods to the present.
