Meat Markets articulates the emergent "nonhuman thought" developed across literatures of the long nineteenth century and inflecting recent critical theories of abject life and animality. It presents important connections between meat and popular serial press industries, the intersections ofcriminals and public readership, and the long history of bloody spectacle at London's Smithfield Market including public executions, criminal escapades, death and horror tales, and the fungible "penny press" forms of mass consumption. Through analysis of subjection, address, and narration incanonical and penny literatures, this book reveals the mutual forces of concern and consumption that afflict objects of a weird cultural history of bloody London across the long nineteenth century. Players include butchers, Smithfield, Parliament, Dickens, Romantics, Sweeney Todd, cattle, and astrange, impossible London. | Meat Markets by Ted Geier, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
