Shaping the Equine Body
This roundtable discussion brings together four prominent scholars from equine studies (Susanna Forrest, Richard Nash, Karen Raber, and Jeannette Vaught) to discuss how we have historically shaped the equine body (and mind) when we breed and train horses, and how taking this history into account might allow us to imagine new ways of living with horses. Three core concerns are addressed from multidisciplinary perspectives: How do human representat…

Shakespeare and Animal Studies
This article examines the evolution of criticism that focuses on the representation of animals in Shakespeare. While animals have always been a topic of interest to Shakespeare critics, recent decades have seen the emergence of a coherent body of theoretically informed work that investigates the cultural, material, and ideological work that animals perform. Shakespeare's plays and poems have become the ground from which challenges to the human‐an…
Louise Hill Curth, ‘A plaine and easie waie to remedie a horse’
Louise Curth's new work on hippiatric medicine is, despite its apparently narrow subject, an expansive contribution to a still-neglected field. As the author points out repeatedly, despite her own previous work on the topic, scholars have continued to overlook the medical treatment of animals in the centuries before veterinary medicine evolved into a professional pursuit.1 Curth's account of equine medicine offers plenty of information and argume…

How to Do Things with Animals
This is an essay about cute furry little cats and kittens.1 If that statement, opening a scholarly essay in a volume on early modern ecostudies, makes you pause, or worse, squirm with discomfort, you would be in excellent company. Keith Thomas's Man and the Natural World includes cats, as well as horses and dogs, among the "privileged species" that grew closer to humans than other animals than their wild or domesticated fellows, but where most se…
The Culture of the Horse
This volume fills an important gap in the analysis of early modern history and culture by reintroducing scholars to the significance of the horse. A more complete understanding of the role of horses a
Domesticity and Dissent in the Seventeenth Century
Throughout her book, Cooper implies that romance has always been a genre to pick up the changes and resonances of the moment that produced it.The changes, Cooper shows, were refl ected both in printed and manuscript romances.(One of the many values of this book is that it takes into account, albeit selectively, manuscript romance, which few critics have examined thus far.)Yet culture and history are only discreetly invoked.Cooper's book is a soun…
Wanton Words
In Wanton Words, Madhavi Menon intimately and expertly couples classical and Renaissance handbooks of rhetoric with canonical Renaissance plays and demonstrates their shared propensity to speak about sex often transgressive sex in the same instance that they speak about the workings of language. While other studies of rhetoric have confined their analyses to local questions of interpretive interest, Menon introduces rhetoric into the largely medi…
