Sinossi
First published more than a century ago, The Biography of a Grizzly recounts the life of a fictitious bear named Wahb who lived and died in the Greater Yellowstone region. This new edition combines Ernest Thompson Seton&;s classic tale and original illustrations with historical and scientific context for Wahb&;s story, providing a thorough understanding of the setting, cultural connections, biology, and ecology of Seton&;s best-known book.
By the time The Biography of a Grizzly was published in 1900, grizzly bears had been hunted out of much of their historical range in North America. The characterization of Wahb, along with Seton&;s other anthropomorphic tales of American wildlife, helped to change public perceptions and promote conservation. As editors Jeremy M. Johnston and Charles R. Preston remind us, however, Seton&;s approach to writing about animals put him at the center of the &;Nature-Faker&; controversy of the early twentieth century, when John Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt, among others, denounced sentimental representations of wildlife.
The editors address conservation scientists&; continuing concerns about inaccurate depictions of nature in popular culture. Despite its anthropomorphism, Seton&;s paradoxical book imparts a good deal of insightful and accurate natural history, even as its exaggerations shaped early-twentieth-century public opinion on conservation in often counterproductive ways. By complicating Seton&;s enthralling tale with scientific observations of grizzly behavior in the wild, Johnston and Preston evaluate the story&;s accuracy and bring the story of Yellowstone grizzlies into the present day.
Preserving the 1900 edition&;s original design and illustrations, Wahb brings new understanding to an American classic, updating the book for current and future generations.
