Description: Skylark Meets Meadowlark by Thomas C. Gannon Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A study of the literary image of the bird in both British Romantic and contemporary Native American literature. Publisher Description A Native rereading of both British Romanticism and mainstream Euro-American ecocriticism, this cross-cultural transatlantic study of literary imaginings about birds sets the agenda for a more sophisticated and nuanced ecocriticism. Lakota critic Thomas C. Gannon explores how poets and nature writers in Britain and Native America have incorporated birds into their writings. He discerns an evolution in humankinds representations-and attitudes toward-other species by examining the avian images and tropes in British Romantic and Native American literatures, and by considering how such literary treatment succeeds from an ecological or animal-rights perspective. Such depictions, Gannon argues, reveal much about underlying cultural and historical relationships with the Other-whether other species or other peoples. He elucidates the changing interconnections between birds and humans in British Romanticism from Cowper to Clare, with particular attention to Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, and Keats. Gannon then considers how birds are imagined by Native writers, including early Lakota authors and contemporary poets such as Linda Hogan and Joy Harjo. Ultimately he shows how the sensitive and far-reaching connections with nature forged by Native American writers encourage a more holistic reimagining of humankinds relationship to other animals. Author Biography Thomas C. Gannon is an associate professor of English and ethnic studies at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
