Historical Animal Geographies

Historical analysis is important to animal geographies, yet few works have yet attempted to represent this confluence in understanding the entangled lives of animals and humans. Foregrounding the assertion that geography matters as much as history in terms of how we relate to animals, this book offers unique insight into what life conditions animals encountered, how interrelationships were co-constructed, and how non-human actors came to make their own worlds. It demonstrates how geographical analyses enriches work in historical animal studies, how historical work is important to animal geography, and the need for animals to be recognised as actors in historical geographic research.
