The essays examine the historical, poetic, and semiotic problem of mimesis exemplified both by the imitative behavior of parrots, starlings, and other mocking birds, and by the poetic trope of such birds in a range of literary and philological traditions. Drawing from a cross-section of traditional periods and fields in literary studies (18th-century studies, romantic studies, early American studies, 20th-century studies, and postcolonial studies), the collection offers new models for combining comparative and global studies of literature and culture."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Birds in literature. 650 0 $a Mimicry (Biology) 650 0 $a Mimesis in literature. 650 0 $a Starlings. 650 0 $a Mockingbirds. 650 7 $a Birds in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00833090 650 7 $a Mimicry (Biology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021935 650 7 $a Mockingbirds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024341 650 7 $a Starlings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131641 700 1 $a GoGwilt, Christopher Lloyd, $e editor. 700 1 $a Holm, Melanie D., $d 1977- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116022606.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=960A1BE8580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
