'Clear, insightful look at all sides of the argument about our treatment of animals.' - Sunday Times
'Hursthouse’s Ethics, Humans and Other Animals...remains an excellent, self-guided amalgam of primary sources and secondary commentary by an author who represents a virtue-ethics approach to inter-species morality; it is loaded with helpful pedagogical instruments.' - Ralph Acampora, Hofstra University, Society & Animals

'This wide ranging and learned work will establish Nicholas Rengger as one of the most impressive writers on international relations today.' - Steven B. Smith, Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science, Yale University, USA
'In open and engaging prose, Rengger offers a thorough-going study of some of the most important books that have shaped the debate on political theory and international relations. It displays a formidable intellectual grasp and the kind of moral conviction rarely found in today's academic discourse. It is a striking and sometimes dazzling commentary on what the author calls 'modern anti-Pelagianism', a lens through he looks at how writers as diverse as John Gray and Jean Bethke Elshtein have interrogated the troubles and discontents of our day.' - Christopher Coker, Professor, London School of Economics, UK
'International theory has needed regular jolts of history and philosophy to sustain its vitality: by proposing a new typology of "anti-Pelagian" thought, Nicholas Rengger has given the field another welcome shot in the arm. His wide-ranging collection of essays has something for almost everyone; they will not all agree with the argument, but he does provide substantial material for productive debate.' - David Armitage, Harvard University, USA

'Overall, this is a very interesting volume that gathers together a wide ranging set of case studies and analyses of the LL and its implications for minority languages and minorities themselves. Many of the chapters break new ground, either in terms of the language varieties or geographical locations they consider, or the theoretical positions and research methodologies they combine... This is an inmportant work for anyone interested in LL research and on the status of minority languages. It comprehensively demonstrates the inter-disciplinary nature of LL research, showcasing the wealth of data available and the robust theoretically informative lenses through which the representation of minority languages and cultures may be understood.'

"David Herman has assembled a superb and vitally relevant cross-section of evidence from the expanding frontier where literature and theory contemplate the evocative counsel of our animal messengers." - Jonathan Lethem, Roy Edward Disney Professor in Creative Writing, Ponoma College, USA
&nbsp;
"In this rich and theoretically robust volume of essays, animals emerge as constitutive not only of human identity but of modern and postmodern fiction. Putting into practice a creaturely approach to literary studies, Creatural Fictions illustrates the myriad ways in which the shared bodily being of humans and animals is foundational for all rhetorical, political, and ethical acts. Moving freely between the canon and the periphery and attending to questions of form, genre, sexuality, and gender, the fluctuations of species are brought to bear on every aspect of literary endeavor. Here is an expansive exploration of critical practice after the 'animal turn' that will reshape the disciplines we so narcissistically call the 'humanities.'" - Anat Pick, Senior Lecturer of Film Studies, Queen Mary, University of London, UK&nbsp;
&nbsp;
"This cutting-edge anthology brings together an impressive group of established and emerging scholars to showcase the central themes and issues that motivate literary animal studies. Discussing authors from Kafka to Coetzee and Martel to Mda, the authors provide insightful readings of essential texts that will be of interest to students and scholars alike. This volume will help readers appreciate the numerous ways in which literature serves both to inform and challenge contemporary work in critical animal studies." - Matthew Calarco, Associate Professor of Philosophy,&nbsp;California State University, Fullerton, USA
"In this fascinating and compelling collection of transdisciplinary approaches to animals in modern and contemporary literature, the writers move from the 'creaturely' to the 'creatural.' Rather than emphasizing creaturely differences, the contributors highlight cross-creatural continuities between humans and nonhuman animals. Engaging with a wide range of human-animal relationships, the essays in Creatural Fictions hone in on a variety of literature—from the historical romance to postcolonial fiction—from around the world. Examining texts by writers hailing from the Global North and South, East and West, the essays in Creatural Fictions reconsider the very notion of the animal." - Jeanne Dubino, Professor of English, Appalachian State University, USA&nbsp;and coeditor of Representing the Modern Animal in Literature
