Publisher's Synopsis

A compilation of a group of academics from diverse disciplines who highlight the presence of the parrot in selected texts across the centuries. They demonstrate that fictional parrots invariably function as more than decoration, comedy, or badges denoting the eccentricity of their human owners, but as markers for subtle literary techniques.
