Reimagining Dinosaurs is aimed at literary scholars, historians of science, and curious general readers. Unlike previous works, which suggest that American museums made dinosaurs famous, this book argues that British and American popular literature was critical for transforming the dinosaur into a transatlantic cultural icon between 1880 and 1920.
