Animal Subjects-Hovanec-Cambridge University Press
Animal Subjects identifies a new understanding of animals in modernist
literature and science. Drawing on Darwin's evolutionary theory, British
writers and scientists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries began to think of animals as subjects dwelling in their own
animal worlds. Both science and literature aimed to capture the
complexity of animal life, and their shared attention to animals pulled
the two disciplines closer together. It led scientists to borrow the
literary techniques of fiction and poetry, and writers to borrow the
observational methods of zoology. Animal Subjects tracks the coevolution
of literature and zoology in works by H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, D. H.
Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and modern scientists including Julian
Huxley, Charles Elton, and J. B. S. Haldane. Examining the rise of
ecology, ethology, and animal psychology, this book shows how new,
subject-centered approaches to the study of animals transformed
literature and science in the modernist period.
