Veterinarians and Multispecies Statecraft in the Enlightenment
Chapters:
- First there were horses
- Then cattle
- And sheep
- Next pigs
- Also cats
- And dogs
- But not quite chickens
There were, of course, also
- Wolves
- Bacillus anthracis
- Rats
- Deer
- Worms
- Goats
- Asses
This work recasts the Enlightenment as a multispecies affair, one where new visions of statecraft saw the governance of nonhuman animals as essential in governing humans.
