By interweaving animal studies, literary animal studies, animal science, and close readings, the author establishes critical animal concepts for environmental literature that expand the understanding and knowledge of animal lives to promote conservation and meaningful reflection on current human-animal relationships. Lauren E. Perry-Rummel demonstrates the grave importance and promise these writers saw in the animals alongside them by examining the textual proof of how America's great environmental writers viewed animals. The author’s tracing of animal texts begins with late nineteenth century American texts from Sarah Orne Jewett, Jack London, into the mid-early twentieth century, ecologically focused works of Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, into the later twentieth century with the musings of Edward Abbey and the devastating memoir of Terry Tempest Williams, and ending with the contemporary species-centric works of Nate Blakeslee and Dan Flores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnimal Subjects: The White Heron, Wolf-Dog, and Surviving the Industrialized World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnimal Time: Carson and Leopold on the Ecological Importance of Animal Presence in Clocks and Calendars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Animal in Abbey’s Country: Rethinking Animal Consciousness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemories Are for the Birds: Terry Tempest Williams’s Memoir of Animal Understanding\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnimal Texts: How Animal Studies Enabled the Literary Success of Coyote America and American Wolf and Gave Voice to American Animals\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042035237207,"sku":"9781666937763","price":65.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/animal-texts-critical-animal-concepts-for-american-environmental-literature-9781666937763","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
