With the rise of Darwinism, eugenics, and parasitology in the late nineteenth century, Sebastian Williams posits that the \"parasite\" came to be humanity's ultimate other--a dangerous antagonist. But many authors such as Isaac Rosenberg, John Steinbeck, Franz Kafka, Clarice Lispector, Nella Larsen, and George Orwell reconsider parasitism. Ultimately, parasites inherently depend on others for their survival, illustrating the limits of ethical models that privilege the discrete individual above interdependent communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSebastian Williams is assistant professor of English at Davis \u0026amp; Elkins College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50345967255789,"sku":"9781666921298","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/gCb4Vw--1W9781666921298.webp?v=1785215964","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/modernist-parasites-bioethics-dependency-and-literature-post-1900-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
