Scottish Literature of the South Seas : Critical Studies of Scotland and the Pacific /
:
This volume, edited by Richard J. Hill and Allison E. Francis, explores literary connections between Scotland and the Pacific. The contributors, including some of the world's foremost scholars in Scottish and Pacific studies, examine how Scottish writing about the Pacific, and Pacific engagement with Scottish culture, generates a cultural examination of Scotland's place in the British colonizing hierarchy. While Robert Louis Stevenson was the principal Scottish author who shaped these early discussions, other prominent Scottish authors are also analyzed. Several chapters examine Scottish engagement with the South Seas, before and after Stevenson's involvement with Pacific cultural and political affairs. The book lends weight and understanding as to why Pacific Islanders-both immigrant and indigenous-often claim affiliations with Scotland, and in the case of Hawaii and Samoa, to Stevenson in particular.

Women Who Write Animals : Female Literary Representations of the More-Than-Human World /
:
Why have so many women turned to animals in their writing-and what does that reveal about our shared world? Women Who Write Animals: Female Literary Representations of the More-Than-Human World uncovers the rich, often-overlooked legacy of English-speaking female authors who, from the late 18th century to today, have written powerfully and provocatively about animals. From activists and scientists to poets and storytellers, these women reshaped how we imagine animals-and ourselves. Drawing on ecofeminism, animal studies, and posthumanist thought, the essays explore intimate bonds, political resistance, and ethical entanglements across species. With rare archival insights and through a diverse range of voices, this collection reclaims women's roles in rethinking nature, challenging readers to envision a more compassionate and interconnected planet.
