This collection includes twelve provocative essays from a diverse
group of international scholars, who utilize a range of
interdisciplinary approaches to analyze "real" and
"representational" animals that stand out as culturally significant
to Victorian literature and culture. Essays focus on a wide range
of canonical and non-canonical Victorian writers, including Charles
Dickens, Anthony Trollope, Anna Sewell, Emily Bronte, James
Thomson, Christina Rossetti, and Richard Marsh, and they focus on a
diverse array of forms: fiction, poetry, journalism, and letters.
These essays consider a wide range of cultural attitudes and
literary treatments of animals in the Victorian Age, including the
development of the animal protection movement, the importation of
animals from the expanding Empire, the acclimatization of British
animals in other countries, and the problems associated with
increasing pet ownership. The collection also includes an
Introduction co-written by the editors and Suggestions for Further
Study, and will prove of interest to scholars and students across
the multiple disciplines which comprise Animal Studies.
