This groundbreaking study provides readers with an insightful introduction to fundamental themes within the field of animal studies, serving as a framework for examining the representation of animals and animality in the works of various authors. In this innovative approach to animal studies, the concept of a relational universe, which has gained prominence in recent natural and physical science, is emphasized as a central tenant. Through a fresh interpretation of Welsh literary and non-literary publications, encompassing the Welsh press and Welsh-language manuals, the book delves into the intricate relationships between animals and between humans and animals. By adopting an animal perspective, it explores subjects such as intelligence, sensibility, and knowledge, offering a novel approach to understanding these complex phenomena. Furthermore, the book suggests the possibility of reimagining and reclaiming a history of rural and industrial Wales, drawing upon an animal history and agenda. This pioneering contribution to Welsh and animal studies sheds light on captivating and contentious topics, including animal domestication, captivity, communication, biopsychology, human exceptionalism, zoos, and farming. By delving into these subjects, the book offers a thought-provoking and enriching exploration of the multifaceted relationship between humans and animals, contributing to our understanding of the world and our place within it.
