An Exaltation of Larks probes the hidden language, history, and global reach of venery, the ancient art of hunting, through a journey spanning multiple continents and centuries. From falconry in the heart of the English countryside to elephant hunting in Botswana, from the scandalous sexual exploits of medieval aristocrats to the modern-day poaching crisis in Africa, Resnick illuminates the inextricable link between humans and the animals they pursue. With vivid prose and meticulous research, she challenges long-held assumptions about dominance, masculinity, and our place in the natural world. The result is a thought-provoking and unforgettable exploration of this enduring human practice, revealing its profound impact on both hunters and prey, and the complex ethical and environmental questions it raises.
