In this important new book from a pioneering scholar, Josephine Donovan develops a new aesthetics of care, which she establishes as the basis for a critical approach to the representation of animals in literature.<i>The Aesthetics of Care</i> begins with a guide to the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, leading to a reconceptualization of key literary critical terms such as<i>mimesis</i> and <i>catharsis</i>, before moving on to a practical section, with interpretations of the specific treatment of animals handled by a wide range of authors, including Willa Cather, Leo Tolstoy, George Sand, and J.M. Coetzee. The book closes with three concluding theoretical chapters. Clear, original, and provocative, <i>The Aesthetics of Care</i> introduces and makes new contributions to a number of burgeoning areas of study and debate: eco-criticism, literature and ethics, literature and society, and critical theory.
