Continuously in print and translated into multiple languages since
it was first published, Anna Sewell's Black Beauty is a classic
work of children's literature and an important text in the fields
of Victorian studies and animal studies. Writing to ""induce
kindness, sympathy and an understanding treatment"", Sewell
realistically documents the working conditions of Black Beauty, who
moves down the social scale from a rural carriage horse to a
delivery horse in London. Sewell makes visible and tangible the
experience of animals who were often treated as if they were
machines. Though she died shortly after it was published, Sewell's
book contributed significantly to late nineteenth-century campaigns
for humane treatment of horses and remains a seminal anti-cruelty
text today. The Broadview Press edition reproduces the first
edition of 1877, restoring material often abridged in other modern
editions. Appendices include materials on contemporary animal
rights movements, equine management, and Victorian understandings
of animal emotions.
