This volume argues for a history of animals based on the centrality of liminality - the state of being on the threshold, not quite one thing yet not quite another. Since animals stand between nature and culture, wildness and domestication, the countryside and the city, and tradition and modernity, the concept of liminality has a special resonance for historical animal studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssembling an impressive cast of contributors, this volume employs liminality as a lens through which to study the social and cultural history of animals in the modern city. It includes a variety of case studies, such as the horse-human relationship in the towns of New Spain, hunting practices in 17th-century France, the birth of the zoo in Germany and the role of the stray dog in the Victorian city, demonstrating the interrelated nature of animal and human histories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnimal History in the Modern City\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital resource for scholars and students interested in animal studies, urban history and historical geography.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClemens Wischermann\u003c\/b\u003e is Chair of Economic and Social History at the University of Constance, Germany.
