This project investigates literary expression, legal reforms and narratives, and meat production in the London city space in a comparative articulation of long nineteenth century forms of life and abjection. This begins on the subject of animals in Romantic poetry, and animals remain in focus throughout this dissertation, but the larger scope of the project examines articulations of nonhuman experience including the ways in which humans are rendered as something less human, inhuman, nonhuman, or otherwise. The "nonhuman" at the heart of this study, then, is also a consideration of the animal that once was. What results from changes in London life and prior shifts such as enclosure in England, and what is then reflected in the various literary, economic, civic, and legal revisions of the period, is a mutual destruction of animal life and human existence only defined after the fact, for example in twentieth century critical theory and modernist texts such as those by Kafka examined here. Through close analysis of the poetic and narrative forms in Romantic poetry, popular serial fiction, the works of Dickens, and Kafka's modernism, this project shows the abiding concern with nonhuman form in daily life and in expressive modes. The literary forms attending, responding to, and then following specific London legal-historical circumstances such as the dense interspecies coexistence and mutual suffering at Smithfield Market, a central topic of study in parts of this project, produce a sustained and undeniable claim: We are, all of us, meat.
