But as pets became more common, human attitudes toward animals evolved steadily, and with the concentrated efforts of an unconventional duchess, a gentleman scientist, and an eccentric Scots barrister, the lives of beasts--and, correspondingly, men and women--began to change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKathryn Shevelow, an award-winning eighteenth-century scholar, gives us the dramatic story of the bold reformers (including Richard Martin, William Wilberforce, and Alexander Pope) who braved attacks because they sympathized with the plight of creatures everywhere. More than just a history, this is an eye-opening exploration into how our feelings toward animals reveal our ideas about ourselves, God, mercy, and nature. Accessible and lively, \u003ci\u003eFor the Love of Animals\u003c\/i\u003e is a captivating cultural narrative that takes us into the lives of animals--and into the minds of humans--at a transforming moment in history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA specialist in eighteenth-century British literature and culture, \u003cb\u003eKathryn Shevelow\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor at the University of California in San Diego.
