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?

Morse's voice is warm and welcoming. Her historical overview of animal representation and animal rights is masterful. Her close reading of the texts she ably chooses for this journey that precedes Victoria's rise to the throne and takes us into early 20th-century modernism is illuminating.
