Although war is a heterogeneous assemblage of the human and nonhuman, it nevertheless builds the illusion of human autonomy and singularity. Focusing on war and ecology, a neglected topic in early modern ecocriticism, Bestial Oblivion: War, Humanism, and Ecology in Early Modern England shows how warfare unsettles ideas of the human, yet ultimately contributes to, and is then perpetuated by, anthropocentrism. Bertrams study of early modern warfares impact on human-animal and human-technology relationships draws upon posthumanist theory, animal studies, and the new materialisms, focusing on responses to the Anglo-Spanish War, the Italian Wars, the Wars of Religion, the colonization of Ireland, and Jacobean peace. The monograph examines a wide range of textsessays, drama, military treatises, paintings, poetry, engravings, war reports, travel narrativesand authorsErasmus, Machiavelli, Digges, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Coryate, Baconto show how an intricate web of perpetual war altered the perception of the physical environment as well as the ideologies and practices establishing what it meant to be human.

Literary and cultural criticism has ventured into a brave new world in recent decades: posthumanism, ecocriticism, critical animal studies, Object-Oriented Ontology, the new vitalism, Actor-Network Theory, and other related approaches have transformed the scholarly environment, reinvigo-rating our encounters with familiar texts, and inviting us to take note of new or neglected ones. A vast array of non-human creatures, entities, and forces are now emerging as important agents in their own right. Inspired by human concern for an ailing planet, literary scholarship has grappled with the question of how important works of art can be to the preservation of something we have traditionally called nature; yet literatures capacity to take us on unexpected journeys through the networks of affiliation and affinity we share with the earth on which we dwelland without which we dieis more important than ever. Non-human animals, machines, and other phenomena no longer function only as metaphors, emblems or analogies; now they populate literary and cultural analysis in increasingly complex ways, always in tension with our sense of what it means to be human. Recent theory has transformed our conception of the cosmos by dethroning the individual human subject and dismantling the comfortable categories through which we have interpreted its existence, while the rise of new materialisms that account for our entanglements with lively matter have relocated humanity from its impoverished, isolated space atop the mountain of creation to the fecund swamp of our kinship with all things.
Until now, however, the many objects, creatures, and agents in this wave of scholarship have had no single place to gather, no home that would nurture them as a collective project. Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture gives scholarly treatments of diverse kinds of non-humans and humans that home. It is our goal for the series to provide an encounter zone where all forms of human engagement with the non-human in multiple periods and many national literatures can be explored, and where the discoveries that result can speak to one another, as well as to readers and students.
