‎The Hunter Elite: Manly Sport Hunting Narratives And American Conservation 1880-1925‎

‎University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2018. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. At the end of the nineteenth century Theodore Roosevelt T. S. Van Dyke and other elite men began describing their big-game hunting as "manly sport with the rifle." They also began writing about their experiences publishing hundreds of narratives of hunting and adventure in the popular press and creating a new literary genre in the process. But why did so many of these big-game hunters publish What was writing actually doing for them and what did it do for readers In exploring these questions The Hunter Elite reveals new connections among hunting narratives publishing and the American conservation movement. Beginning in the 1880s these prolific hunter-writers told readers that big-game hunting was a test of self-restraint and "manly virtues" and that it was not about violence. They also opposed their sportsmanlike hunting to the slaughtering of game by British imperialists even as they hunted across North America and throughout the British Empire. Their references to Americanism and manliness appealed to traditional values but they used very modern publishing technologies to sell their stories and by 1900 they were reaching hundreds of thousands of readers every month. When hunter-writers took up conservation as a cause they used that reach to rally popular support for the national parks and for legislation that restricted hunting in the US Canada and Newfoundland. The Hunter Elite is the first book to explore both the international nature of American hunting during this period and the essential contributions of hunting narratives and the publishing industry to the North American conservation movement. Tara Kathleen Kelly is an independent scholar with a PhD in American history from Johns Hopkins University. "Through a deep and engaging analysis Tara Kathleen Kelly's The Hunter Elite provides a refreshing perspective on the critical role that sportsmen and their hunting narratives played in the development of the early environmental movement. This is a valuable study of this important moment in American history."�Greg Dehler author of The Most Defiant Devil: William Temple Hornaday and His Controversial Crusade to Save American Wildlife "Elegantly written The Hunter Elite offers fresh insights on the rise of sport hunting and wilderness recreation. Kelly provocatively upends our usual assumptions about the rise of hunting during the turn of the twentieth century eschewing the rote rugged response to the 'crisis of masculinity.' Instead her deep engagement with both the sportsmen themselves�as both hunters and writers�and with the expanding modern apparatus of travel tourism and publishing offers a compelling new framework to see the rise and decline of big-game hunting and the peculiar type of American conservation that emerged from this era."�Phoebe S. K. Young coeditor of Rendering Nature: Animals Bodies Places Politics University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: 2018 hardcover‎
