One of the first animal viewpoint novels published in the United
States, Margaret Marshall Saunders's Beautiful Joe (1894) tells the
story of an abused dog and his rescue by a humane family. A
catalogue of animal rights and wrongs, the novel fuelled humane
sentiments worldwide. This annotated, illustrated edition draws on
archival collections to trace the novel's impact on the
nineteenth-century animal protection movement. The introduction
also highlights some of the key social issues surrounding the
substantive revisions and omissions in ensuing editions of the
text. The historical appendices place the now-obscure novel in its
rich milieu as an international bestseller that taught a generation
of children to practice kindness towards animals.
