Abstract

"This book traces the development of vegetarianism through literature. Its historical span ranges from ancient thinkers, such as Pythagoras and Ovid, to contemporary writers, including Ruth L. Ozeki and Jonathan Franzen. Its broad historical range is complemented by a cross-cultural focus which emphasises the connections between east and west"
