Pages: 1-32
Description “The representation of animals in Romantic art and literature is examined in the context of the emerging debate in the late 18th-century about the status of animals and the consequent rise of the anti-cruelty movement. This essay argues that romantic painters and poets provide a critique of anthropocentrism that anticipates the sea-change in humankind's understanding of their relationship to nature brought about by Darwin.” From the abstract.
