Whether a secularized morality, biblical worldview, or unstated set
of mores, the Victorian period can and always will be distinguished
from those before and after for its pervasive sense of the "proper
way" of thinking, speaking, doing, and acting. Animals in
literature taught Victorian children how to be behave. If you are a
postmodern posthumanist, you might argue, "But the animals in
literature did not write their own accounts." Animal characters may
be the creations of writers' imagination, but animals did and do
exist in their own right, as did and do humans. The original essays
in Animals and Their Children in Victorian explore the
representation of animals in children's literature by resisting an
anthropomorphized perception of them. Instead of focusing on the
domestication of animals, this book analyzes how animals in
literature "civilize" children, teaching them how to get along with
fellow creatures-both human and nonhuman.
