Zusammenfassung:"Poetics and Ethics of Anthropomorphism: Children, Animals and Poetry explores questions of for whom and for what purpose animal poetry is composed. Critically contextualizing anthropomorphism in traditional and contemporary poetic and theoretical discourse, this volume outlines and explores the representation of animals through anthropomorphism, anthropocentrism, affective and emotional responses to other-than-human species, animal absence, and 'child-animal nature-and-nurture dynamism'. These issues are crucial to zoomorphism - the attribution of animal traits to deities and non-animal entities and events, zoomorphism routinely being the concomitant (or flipside) of anthropomorphism. With a focus on the ethics in poetic relations between children and animals, humans and nonhumans, this book is a vital resource for students and scholars of anthropomorphism in children's literature"--
