“This geographically diverse volume makes a ground-breaking contribution to the rise of animal studies in the early modern and modern histories of art and visual culture. Without a doubt, it will also add to a growing body of work enriching histories of visual and material culture within the environmental humanities.”Emily Gephart, School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and Maura Coughlin, Northeastern University“This innovative and important collection takes a collaborative approach to the study of visual culture and animal life in the Americas and Europe. In a challenge to conventional approaches, the authors place human and other-than-human perspectives and experiences on an equal footing, moving back and forth between uses and depictions of animals on the part of human societies and the lives of the many different creatures they encountered.”Sarah R. Cohen, University at Albany, SUNY
