- Description
- Describes "critical animal studies"; then examines human-animal relations in PrT and NPT, arguing that the Prioress's "selective sympathy for certain animals" in her GP description "forecasts her narrow sympathy for certain humans" in her Tale. NPT, on the other hand, "ponders . . . the ways in which cross-species interactions participate in self-expression, question the status of the human, and contribute to community formation" across classes, races, nations, and species.
