ario Ortiz Robles sostiene que los animales no humanos son reducidos a tropos en la literatura, careciendo de un referente material (2016:21) y facilitando así su explotación sistemática (Adams 2010: 69). Un tipo de literatura en el que los no humanos han estado tradicionalmente presentes pero marginados es el romance artúrico. Durante el renacimiento artúrico (década de 1980-1990), la obra de Anne McCaffrey, Black Horses for the King (1998), intenta reescribir este mito y rendir homenaje a los equinos, el núcleo del género. Mi objetivo, por lo tanto, es discernir si el enfoque de McCaffrey en los caballos es suficiente para resistir su explotación como símbolos dentro de la tradición artúrica antropocéntrica y a menudo dualista. Además, analizaré si el dualismo humano/no humano también refuerza, y es reforzado por, la diferencia cristiano/pagano.
