The animal stories produced around the turn of the 20th century
have maintained a remarkable hold on the imagination of children
worldwide. This critical book examines the performance of
masculinity in these stories, particularly in light of the waning
years of Victoria's reign when changing historical, political and
social pressures altered the definition of masculinity. An
examination of aestheticism, multicultural religious and spiritual
forces, and the role of genre are key to understanding how these
authors scripted masculinity onto non-human character. Topics
covered include the roles of violence, rebellion, escape,
spirituality, social hierarchies and law. A vital addition to the
scholarly examination of children's literature.
