The Animal Surreal explores the varied ways that Darwinian theory affected Surrealist thought, primarily through an exploration of Surrealist representations of nonhuman animals as kin to humans. It considers other animals as embodiments of the marvelous and the uncanny, and it addresses the politics of their implicit critique of anthropocentrism.
