Description

The Routledge Companion to Animal-Human History provides an up-to-date guide for the historian working within the growing field of animal-human history. Giving a sense of the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of the field, cutting-edge contributions explore the practices of and challenges posed by historical studies of animals and animal-human relationships. Divided into three parts, the Companion takes both a theoretical and practical approach to a field that is emerging as a prominent area of study. Animals and History considers practices of history, such as political history, public history and cultural memory, and how animal-human history can contribute to them, with contributors considering the challenges posed by topics such as agency, literature, art and emotional attachment. The final section, Themes and Provocations, looks at larger themes within the history of animal-human relationships in more depth, with contributions covering topics that include breeding, war, hunting and eating. 575 p.

As the study of animal-human history continues to grow and diversify, I am sure that this ‘state of the art’ collection of essays will become a vital source. It opens up new, thought-provoking approaches to a range of themes, especially the active roles that animals have played in human history, and is lavishly referenced.

The Routledge Companion to Animal-Human History provides a series of timely and outstanding reviews of the complex issues and exciting opportunities that arise when the “conjoined histories” of humans and other animals are reconsidered.

With incisive writing from some excellent contributors, this volume makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of the complexity and diversity of animal-human histories.
