Emelia Quinn's recent monograph The Monstrous Vegan: Reading Veganism in Literature, 1818 to Present is both timely and theoretically refreshing as the field of Vegan Studies continues to distinguish itself and calls for its own space as culturally and historically significant as well as markedly unique from contemporary conceptions of Animal Studies more generally.
