Book Synopsis
Drawing on a wide range of scholarship, from environmental economics to psychology, Glenn Willmott examines modern and post-modern allegories of the environment, the animal, and economics, highlighting the enduring and seductive appeal of the modern primitive in an age when living with less remains a powerful cultural wish.

Trade Review
'Glenn Wilmott's Modern Animalism offers elegant new reading of the modern rea through an ecological lens... Wilmott has tapped into the discomfiting zeitgeist of our time and shaped discussion to which literary scholars can add their voices.' -- Beverly Haun Canadian Literature 219, winter 2013
