Böcker av Juliana Adelman

A baby's body. The butcher who found it. His wife who won't talk to him. Her lady with a secret. The detective on their heels.

This book offers a unique account of life in nineteenth-century Dublin, told through human-animal relationships. It argues that the exploitation of animals formed a key component of urban change, from municipal reform to class formation to the expansion of public health and policing. -- .
