Socrates. Not great; but it has received great honour from the Gods, because of its lovingness, for while it is making its nest, all the world has the happy days which are called Halcyonidae, excelling all others in their calmness, though in the midst of storm; of which you see this very day is one, if ever there was.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how England's attitude towards animals has transformed over time, suggesting that our culture has swung back and forth between reverence and exploitation. With special attention paid to animals' experiences, the author traces this shift, beginning with the Christian belief that animals were created solely for human use, to the late 18th and 19th-century rise of the animal protection movement. The author argues that the way in which we see and use animals is an accurate reflection of the values of the culture that currently exists. Through analysis of England's literary canon, the author shows how the portrayal of animals in stories has changed over the years to reflect the attitudes of the time period. A fascinating and timely examination of humanity's relationship with the natural world, this book will appeal to lovers of both animals and history.
