| Popis: | Although often reduced to moralizing maxims, enjoyed for their exoticism, or relegated to the realm of children’s literature, fables resist such restrictive confinements by creating a narrative space that invites the contemplation of intricate political, social, and (trans)cultural relations. Kaori Nagai’s Imperial Beast Fables: Animals, Cosmopolitanism and the British Empire underlines this generic potential by examining “the fable as a theatre of the human-animal relationship … within the context of British imperialism” of the long nineteenth century (6). |
