Abstract
As a concluding reflection on animal life in the writings of Edmund Spenser, an art historian of early modern Germany engages with the work of scholars of early modern English literature and discovers new ways of thinking about German sixteenth-century images of horses. The Coda demonstrates how the bodies of animals, variously conceived and encountered in history and in scholarship, provide a unique foundation for the practice of interdisciplinarity and for engagement with vital ontological, hermeneutical, and ethical issues.
