Cambridge University Press Romanticism and Animal Rights 58 Cambridge Studies in Romanticism Series Number 58
Book SynopsisIn England in the second half of the eighteenth century an unprecedented amount of writing urged kindness to animals. This theme was carried in many genres, from sermons to encyclopedias, from scientific works to literature for children, and in the poetry of Cowper, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Clare and others. Romanticism and Animal Rights discusses the arguments writers used, and the particular meanings of these arguments in a social and economic context so different from the present. After introductory chapters, the material is divided according to specific practices that particularly influenced feeling or aroused protest: pet keeping, hunting, baiting, working animals, eating them, and the various harms inflicted on wild birds. The book shows how extensively English Romantic writing took up issues of what we now call animal rights. In this respect it joins the growing number of studies that seek precedents or affinities in English Romanticism for our own ecological concerns.Trade Review'This is a welcome book … he not only provides the kind of scholarship that is necessary to inform the more general picture of animal studies, he also leaves plenty of scope for more detailed accounts of particular issues. What is more he does it through in an engagingly frank and clear approach to his reader.' Literature & HistoryTable of ContentsPreface; Acknowledgements; 1. In the beginning of animal rights; 2. Grounds of argument; 3. Keeping pets: William Cowper and his hares; 4. Barbarian pleasures: against hunting; 5. Savage amusements of the poor: John Clare's badger sonnets; 6. Work animals, slaves, servants: Coleridge's young ass; 7. The slaughterhouse and the kitchen: Charles Lamb's 'Dissertation upon Roast Pig'; 8. Caged birds and wild; Notes; Bibliographical essay; Index.

Cambridge University Press Crime and Defoe A New Kind of Writing 16 Cambridge Studies in EighteenthCentury English Literature and Thought Series Number 16
Book SynopsisThis book seeks to recover something of the original excitement, challenge and significance of Defoe's four novels of criminal life by reading them within and against the conventions of early eighteenth-century criminal biography. Crime raised deeply troubling questions in Defoe's time, not least as a powerful sign of the breakdown of traditional social authority and order. Arguing that Defoe's novels, like criminal biography, provided ways of facing and working through, as well as avoiding, certain of the moral and intellectual difficulties that crime raised for him and his readers, Faller shows how the 'literary', even 'aesthetic' qualities of his fiction contributed to these ends. Analysing the ways in which Defoe's novels exploited, deformed and departed from the genre they imitated, this book attempts to define the specific social and political (which is to say moral and ideological) value of a given set of 'literary' texts against those of a more 'ordinary' form of narrative.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Romancing the real: the field of criminal biography; 2. Defoe's realism: rough frames, strange voices, surprisingly various subjects and readers made more present to themselves; 3. The copious text: opening the door to inference, or, room for those who know how to read it; 4. Imitations of an invisible hand: the mind exercised, enlarged and kept in play by strange concurrences; 5. The general scandal upon business: unanswerable doubts, and the texts as a field supporting very nice distinctions; 6. The frontiers of dishonesty, the additions and concurrence of circumstances: more on the strategic situating of names; 7. Notions different from all the world: criminal stupidity, the self, and the symbolic order; Closing comments: truth, complexity, common sense and empty spaces.

Cambridge University Press Literature Satire and the Early Stuart State
Book SynopsisFrom his analysis of these texts, McRae argues that satire, as the pre-eminent literary mode of discrimination and stigmatisation, helped people make sense of the confusing political conditions of the early Stuart era. It did so partly through personal attacks and partly also through sophisticated interventions into ongoing political and ideological debates.Trade Review"...McRae excellently shows how satirical discourse defined and helped to create political divisions." SEL Studies in English Literature, Achsah Guibbory, Recent Studies in the English Renaissance"...a wonderful book..." Seventeenth-Century News"This is historically informed criticism that nonetheless retains a keen eye for the habits and patterns of teh words used by the writers it studies. By making available such an important body of primary materials for the study of politics, textuality and culture, Early Stuart Liberals open-handly extended an invitation to otehr researchers; Literature, Satire and the Early Stuart State will offer those new to that field not only a learned and approachable guide, but, beyond that, a model of how these texts interact with one another and the richly described cultures within which Mcrae situates them."
