Shakespeare's Stony Women and the Boundaries of the Human; J.Waldron -- The Eight Animals in Shakespeare; or, Before the Human; L.Shannon -- Of Sirens and Cetacea: Shakespeare and Marine Mammals; D.Brayton -- Half-fish, Half-flesh: Dolphins, Humans, and the Early Modern Ocean; S.Mentz -- Eating Well: Cannibalism and Carnivorism in the Tales of La Fontaine, Perrault, and d'Aulnoy; M.Senior -- Culinary Transactions: Humans, Animals, and Sensations in Early Modern Cookbooks; J.Zysk.

This volume explores the differences that separate man from other forms of life. Building on the increased attention paid in recent criticism to both plant and animal life in the Renaissance, as well as the instability of categories such as 'human' and 'animal,' the essays in this engaging collection argue for recognition of the persistently indistinct nature of humans, who cannot be finally divided ontologically or epistemologically from other forms of matter. -- .
