Beasts of the Modern Imagination

Více o knize

Focusing on the critique of anthropocentrism, this work examines how various writers use animal characters as narrators and protagonists, allowing them to assert their animality in a human-centered world. Rather than merely serving as allegorical figures, these beasts reflect the complexities of human identity and the struggle for existence. Margot Norris delves into the textual strategies that give life to these characters, revealing how they serve as masks for the human creators behind them.
