Reviews
J. Douglas Kneale, Department of English, University of Western Ontario:
'By juxtaposing travel literature and vegetarianism, the horse paintings of George Stubbs and the animal poetry of John Clare, the material particularity of Wordsworth and the taxonomic theories of Foucault, Cuvier, and Darwin, Oerlemans creates a splendid cross-fertilizing of fields. The result is a very exciting, fresh consideration of the complex resonances between Romanticism and environmentalism, materiality and sublimity, and natural history and literature. A welcome study.'
