Opis

An inter-disciplinary social history, this book examines the major pressures and influences that brought about the growth of opposition to hunting in twentieth century England. Based on a range of cultural, social, literary and political sources drawn from history, sociology, geography, psychology and anthropology, Opposition to Blood Sports in Twentieth Century England accounts for the change in our relationship with non-human animals. Shedding light on the manner in which this resulted in the growth in opposition to hunting and other blood sports, it will appeal to those in social sciences and historians with interests in human-animal relations.
