- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”. It includes 360 pages and approx. c.130k words, which reflects several years of academic research. It was funded by the British Academy, AHRC and won a scholarship of the Montana Historical Society. The work utilised extensive archives in North America (Wyoming Montana, California, Colorado, Connecticut) as well as the UK (British Library). It draws from a variety of sources, including literary texts, personal correspondence and photography, as well as using various material artefacts (guns; taxidermy) to furnish an innovative review of the cultural imprint of hunting on the American frontier imagination.
