Laura Brown studies the literary representation of animals, the role of women in literature, the relationship between culture and history, the emergence of imperialist thought, and the effects of ideas of racial difference. Brown is the author, most recently, of Fables of Modernity (Cornell, 2003) and Homeless Dogs and Melancholy Apes (Cornell, 2010). Fables explores the relationship between literature and culture by examining such topics as the rise of the stock market, the development of urban sanitation, and the spectacle of native "princes" in London. The latter publication studies the ways in which representations of animals engage and transform modern imaginative experiences.
