Sobre IBD

Philip Armstrong examines the function of animals and animal representations in four classic narratives: Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver’s Travels, Frankenstein and Moby-Dick and explores how these stories have been re-worked, in ways that reflect shifting social and environmental forces, by later novelists.
