This vintage book contains James Edmund Harting’s 1841 work; “The Birds under Domestication - Domesticated Birds in Literature and Poetry”. Within it, Harting explores the link between beautiful songbirds and their use in literature, covering the mediaeval period through to Shakespeare and the modern era. Contents include: “Cock-Crow”, “The Cock”, “Cock-A-Hoop”, “Cock and Pye”, “Cock-Fighting”, “Ancestry of Domestic Cock”, “The Peacock”, “The Turkey”, “Its Introduction into England”, “Turkey-Fowl and Guinea-Fowl”, “Its Early Domestication”, etcetera. This book will be of utility to students of English literature, and would make for a great addition to any bookshelf. Many antiquarian texts such as this - particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before - are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
