Description:

Using a wide range of primary sources 'Beastly London' explores the complex and changing relationship between Londoners of all classes and their animal neighbours: from a mainly exploitative relationship, to London becoming the birthplace of animal welfare societies and animal rights' campaigns. The book shows how London's animals have been central to its success, and will appeal to all those interested in animal history and welfare.
