Wenduo Zhang First published in 1922 to immediate popularity, The
Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams has never been out of print.
The story has been adapted for film, television, and theater across
a range of mediums including animation, claymation, live action,
musical, and dance. Frequently, the story inspires a sentimental,
nostalgic response-as well as a corresponding dismissive response
from critics. It is surprising that, despite its longevity and
popularity, The Velveteen Rabbit has inspired a relatively thin
dossier of serious literary scholarship, a gap that this volume
seeks to correct. While each essay can stand alone, the chapters in
"The Velveteen Rabbit" at 100 flow in a coherent sequence from
beginning to end, showing connections between readings from a wide
array of critical approaches. Philosophical and cultural studies
lead us to consider the meaning of love and reality in ways both
timeless and temporal. The Velveteen Rabbit is an Anthropocene
Rabbit. He is also disabled. Here a traditional exegetical reading
sits alongside queering the text. Collectively, these essays more
than double the amount of serious scholarship on The Velveteen
Rabbit. Combining hindsight with evolving sensibilities about
representation, the contributors offer thirteen ways of looking at
this Rabbit that Margery Williams gave us-ways that we can also use
to look at other classic storybooks.
