This book examines animal welfare themes in fiction, and considers
how authors of the last two centuries undermine dominative
attitudes toward the nonhuman. Appearing alongside the emerging
humane movements of the nineteenth century and beyond is a kind of
storytelling sympathetic to protectionist efforts well-described as
a literature of protest. Compassion-inclined tales like the
Dolittle adventures by Hugh Lofting educate readers on a wide range
of ethical questions, empathize with the vulnerable, and envision
peaceful coexistence with other species. Memorable characters like
Black Beauty and Beautiful Joe, Ivan the gorilla and Louis the
trumpeter swan, Hazel and Cheeta, Mr. Bultitude and Doctor Rat do
not merely amuse. They are voices from the margins who speak with
moral urgency to those with ears to hear. This broad survey of
ethical themes in animal fiction highlights the unique
contributions creative writers make toward animal welfare efforts.
