The genre really took off following the explosion of furry fandom in the 21st century, with talking animals featuring in everything from science fiction to fantasy to LGBTQ coming-out stories. In his lifetime, Fred Patten (1940-2018)-one of the founders of furry fandom and a scholar of anthropomorphic animal literature-authored hundreds of book reviews that comprise a comprehensive critical survey of the genre. This selected compilation provides an overview from 1784 through the 2010s, covering such popular novels as Watership Down and Redwall, along with forgotten gems like The Stray Lamb and Where the Blue Begins, and science fiction works like Sundiver and Decision at Doona."-Provided by publisher"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Anthropomorphism in literature $v Encyclopedias. 650 0 $a Animals in literature $v Encyclopedias. 650 0 $a Furry fandom (Subculture) $v Encyclopedias. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 $a Animals in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809580 650 7 $a Anthropomorphism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810265 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Furry fandom (Subculture) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983047 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Encyclopedias. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423798 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204011548.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD1F6EB2166311EA9B100A4E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
