Lakota critic Thomas C. Gannon explores how poets and nature writers in Britain and Native America have incorporated birds into their writings. He discerns an evolution in humankind's representations of other species by examining the avian images and tropes in British Romantic and Native American literatures, and by considering how such treatment succeeds from an ecological or animal rights perspective.
