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?

An Amazing Analysis of the Role of Animals in Victorian Literature!
Revisado: 09-21-24
As a small animal veterinarian with a life-long love of both animals and literature, this is a fascinating, thorough analysis of how even in the Victorian Era, how animals were treated extends to how we treat people of races and classes other than our own. I particularly loved the sections on Black Beauty. Dr Morse’s love for her chosen area of focus is evident in both her writing and her reading, and with her voice and intonation, she is an impeccable narrator! I highly recommend - brava!
