Editorial Reviews

“While there have been many recent studies of the emergence of the exhibitionary complex in nineteenth-century Britain, and while the studies relate this complex to empire, none more closely tracks the parallels between novels, menageries and zoos, and limnings of the imperial totality than does Koenigsberger’s study.” —Patrick Brantlinger, James Rudy Professor of English at Indiana University
“The Novel and the Menagerie is an interesting and imaginatively conceived book. Koenigsberger’s combination of literary, journalistic, and ephemeral sources and his discussion of representations of Englishness in menagerie displays make for an engaging and informative read.” —Harriet Ritvo, professor of history at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
