Beastly Modernisms gathers essays from leading figures in the field alongside emerging scholars who, together, revisit canonical figures and decentre the canons and geographies of modernism. Grounded in interdisciplinary approaches, the contributions work with cultural history and theoretical frameworks to unearth the multispecies dynamics of twentieth-century literature and culture. The chapters in Beastly Modernisms present a diverse range of approaches and topics, exploring dogs in Virginia Woolf to Republican China, animals and gender in surrealism to African-American texts, Sámi reindeer to rat propaganda, modernist jellyfish to metamodernist beasts, 1940s poetry to Indian Partition stories, charting the current and future state of modernist animal studies."-- $c From Amazon. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Index $t CONTENTS -- $t FIGURES -- $t ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS -- $t INTRODUCTION: 'BEASTLY MODERNISMS' -- $t Part I: Companion Species -- $t 1 META MODERNIST BEASTS, OR FLUSH'S FUTURE: CERIDWEN DOVEY'S ONLY THE ANIMALS AND SIGRID NUNEZ'S MITZ: THE MARMOSET OF BLOOMSBURY -- $t 2 CAN FLUSH COUNT?: VIRGINIA WOOLF, ANIMALITY AND NUMBERS -- $t 3 CANINE COMPANIONS, RACE AND AFFECTIVE ANTHROPOMORPHISM IN FLORENCE AYSCOUGH'S THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A CHINESE DOG (1926) AND MARY GAUNT'S A BROKEN JOURNEY (1919) -- $t Part II : Beastly Traces -- $t 4 MAKING AN IMPRESSION DEEPLY : AUTHORISING ANIMALS IN D.
