Animal Studies
Cloth for Men', the title of this 10,000-word article, is also the strapline for a body of advertisements for the Tonik brand of mohair manufactured by Dormeuil, which appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine between 1968-73. Many menswear manufacturers and labels were promoted in its pages, and tailors in particular: in November 1967, for instance, tailors spent £256,600 on press advertising, while between 1969 and 1970 sales of suits constituted 1…
Thinking Animals
The History of Ape Language Experimentation in Fiction
Literary Animal Studies in 2012
Literary Animal Studies began, as did most of the disciplines that contribute to Animal Studies and Human–Animal Studies, in the 1980s. That era of raised social-consciousness opened academic disciplines to many new perspectives.

Toward a Critical Theory of Animal Issues in Fiction
The presence of nonhuman animals in works of fiction vary: from children’s story-books and young adult novels—which often feature them to the exclusion of human characters—and adult fiction—which occasionally gives them a titular role, as in Sterchi’s The cow (1988) and Hoeg’s The woman and the ape (1996) to a minimal presence—an occasional, tired, animal metaphor (take that, you dirty rat) or the inevitable, absent referent (the protagonist wave…
Crossover Animal Fantasy Series
Crossover fantasy series such as Harry Potter (Rowling, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2003), designed to appeal to readers of all ages, have received much popular and critical attention. Series like His Dark Materials (Pullman, 1995, 1997, 2000), more sophisticated and complex than Rowling's, have benefited from Harry Potter's press. In Rowling, nonhuman animals play roles but are not foregrounded. They are not central to action or theme or, in any sense, de…
