Beschreibung

This book examines literary representations of birds from across the world in an

age of expanding European colonialism. It offers important new perspectives into

the ways birds populate and generate cultural meaning in a variety of literary and

non-literary genres from 1700–1840 as well as throughout a broad range of

ecosystems and bioregions. It considers a wide range of authors, including some

of the most celebrated figures in eighteenth-century literature such as John Gay,

Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Cowper, Mary

Wollstonecraft, Thomas Bewick, Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, and

Gilbert White.
