Description

Explore the complex history of human and animal interaction in Myth and Menagerie: Seeing Lions in the Nineteenth Century. Published by Yale University Press, this study provides an original look at how lions were represented in the visual culture of postrevolutionary France. Throughout history, lions have represented strength and authority. This book examines how these ancient traditions met new developments in the nineteenth century, such as the appearance of live lions in public menageries. Katie Hornstein investigates the changing significance of these animals during a period of major cultural shifts. Readers will find a deep analysis of how the presence of lions in public spaces influenced artistic traditions and social perceptions. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of art, animal studies, and French culture.
