Book Synopsis
Placing sensibility in dialogue with classical and early-modern antecedents as well as contemporary animal studies, this book uncovers crucial connections between eighteenth-century poetry; theories of communication; and post-absolutist, rights-based politics.

Trade Review
"Menely's passionately eloquent The Animal Claim accomplishes what many would consider the impossible feat of making eighteenth-century poetry a matter of pressing concern to a wide range of fields, extending beyond eighteenth-century studies and literary studies more generally to include political theory, philosophy, ecocriticism, and the growing field of animal studies. This book is one of the most convincing accounts of the enduring relevance of the eighteenth century to our own moment that I have ever read." (Helen Deutsch, University of California, Los Angeles)
