This book explores the many ways in which a wild creature has been absorbed, reimagined and represented across the ages in all of the major art forms.

Recenzje

"Sharks in the Arts is a heroic attempt to stop – or at least slow – the wanton destruction of one of our planet’s most remarkable species. A key to saving these astonishing creatures, the authors argue, is to understand the ways in which they have been fashioned in literature, painting, and above all movies into a terrifying symbol of menace.　 This book is an example of ecocriticism at its most engaged and urgent." — Stephen Greenblatt, Cogan University Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University, USA
