- Title
When Sophie Loved Animals.
- Authors
Berger, Anne E.
- Abstract
An essay is presented of Countess de Ségur, a famous mid-19th-century French woman writer of children's literature known for her Christian viewpoint and moralistic views, side by side with French philosopher Jacques Derrida's "The Animal That Therefore I Am." It examines Countess' odd and conflicted zoophilia and shows how the modern notion of autobiography is indeed both informed and inflected by an equally new feeling of animality.
