LESLIE MCABEE is a PhD Candidate in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her dissertation, "'Menagerie to me / My Neighbor be': Exotic Animals and American Conscience, 1840-1900," studies mid-to late nineteenth-century representations of "exotic" animals in American literature. She argues that foreign animals as literary subjects sparked ethical exigences that not only disturbed the myth of the human-animal species divide but also illuminated cultural beliefs about civilizationist narratives.
