- Imperial Beast Fables: Animals, Cosmopolitanism, and the British Empire is a 95,000-word monograph. It places the literary genre of the animal fable within the linguistic, scientific, and environmental contexts of the British Empire, as well as in the theoretical fields of animal studies and postcolonial studies. The work was made possible by substantial archival research, carried out over ten years, not only in the UK but also in India, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The research was supported by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship and a Caird Research Fellowship from the National Maritime Museum, UK.
