Literature After Darwin: Human Beasts in Western Fiction 1859-1939 - Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture
V. Richter
What makes us human? Where is the limit between human and animal? These are questions that haunt post-Darwinian literature. Covering fiction from Kipling to Kafka, this study offers a historically embedded analysis of anthropological anxiety in the period between the publication of the Origin of Species and the beginning of the Second World War.
