Publisher Synopsis
"Other Selves makes a sustained contribution to the critical discourse of animals and literature." -- The Year's Work in English Studies "Other Selves: Animals in the Canadian Literary Imagination offers an excellent and much-needed collection of essays about Canada's literary creatures. Despite all of the ink spilled on the Canadian relationship to nature and the wilderness... few, if any, other collections or monographs devote themselves exclusively to the representation of animals in Canadian writing. This collection therefore fills an important gap in the study of Canadian literature. And it does so quite thoroughly, offering fifteen high-quality articles with a wide variety of approaches to a diverse array of animal texts." -- The Bulf Calf Review Read more...
