Most animals are much older than humanity; literature is not much younger. Wide-ranging writings from ancient to modern depict animals: both primitive and highly evolved, living in water, on land, and high above, most real, some imagined. This course examines when and how our “fellow creatures” appear in writing and how they, in some way, represent … humans!
