This book shows how the Romantics’ aesthetic views of animality interacted with their moral, scientific and religious ideas. It argues that the discourses of the sublime, beautiful and ugly helped the Romantics represent their changing relationship with the animal world and understand the increasingly precarious state of their own humanity.
