Review Quotes:
"This book...will be valuable to scholars with an interest in poetics and literary form, but it also offers insights that will undoubtedly serve those interested in critical Animal Studies, ecocritical feminist and queer theory, histories of technique and practical knowledge, and other scholarly domains....Petrosillo's insights are mobile, offering new avenues of interpretation beyond what she addresses in her book." --Adin E. Lears, Journal of English and Germanic Philology
