-"New and Curious Sights": Nineteenth-Century Literary Representations of Women's Encounters with Zoological Gardens and Menageries

Shelby Stymeist, UMIH Graduate Fellow

Monday, February 9th, 409 Tier, 2:30pm

Based on research on nineteenth-century literary representations of women's encounters with zoological gardens and menageries, this presentation examines the ways in which these spaces act as sites of liminality for women and girls in fictional and non-fictional texts of the period.
