Reassessing the Impact of Eastern Philosophy on Victorian Narratives of Vivisection and Vegetarianism
This Fellow's talk is hosted by Victoriographies Research Group (School of Literature and Languages).
Speaker: Dr Oindrila Ghosh, Diamond Harbour Women's University, India
This lecture focuses on the complex global network of empathy and ethics that was in the process of being established which would determine the course of animal protection and legislation in Britain, India and perhaps influenced the future of animal rights worldwide. This network of minds, ideas, the resultant osmosis, and their impact on literature and law are the foci of this presentation with special attention to the works of Hardy, Carpenter and Ghandi at the Fin de Siècle.
