Scholarship on the nonhuman has flourished within the so-called animal and posthuman turns in the humanities and social sciences. While geographers and historians have figured prominently in these emerging fields, few works have yet attempted to represent the confluence of these theoretical perspectives and methodologies. Historical Animal Geographies represents this meeting place, exploring the entangled lives of animals and humans through a broad expense of space and time.

Historical analysis is important to animal geographies: space, place, landscape and scale are essential to reconstructing the who and what animal lives of the past. Foregrounding the assertion that geography matters as much as history in terms of how we relate to animals, this book offers unique insight into what life conditions animals encountered, how interrelationships were co-constructed, and how non-human actors came to make their own worlds. It explores the rich, yet largely unexplored value of the contact points between three sub disciplines, demonstrating how geographical analyses enriches work in historical animal studies; that historical work is important to animal geography; and further examination is needed of animals as actors in historical geographic research.
