While the popular image of the Victorian world is one of stiff formality and old-fashioned values, it was an incredibly transformative time for many people who sought better protections, fairer wages, and greater freedom. And this included an increasingly popular and successful fight for animal welfare. Prior to the 19th century, the mistreatment of animals was rarely questioned, and sports like bullbaiting and dogfighting were common. So, what brought the plight of exploited and suffering animals to the attention of activists, politicians, and the public at large?

Wildly Fascinating, Beautifully Told
Revisado: 09-30-24
A beautiful, thought-provoking, and masterful series, narrated with great warmth and care. Deborah Morse illuminates beloved novels and forgotten stories in new and vital ways, expertly revealing how concerns of animal treatment at the heart of these texts intersect with questions of class, religion, race, gender, and disability. I found Morse’s reflections on care communities and disability in Sewell’s Black Beauty and Saunder’s Beautiful Joe particularly poignant. I highly recommend this series to students and scholars working across fields, and to any lover of animals or literature. Much like the novels Morse explores, her series will leave you informed, enriched, and moved.
