ANIMALS IN VICTORIAN LITERATURE AND CULTURE GEB...

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.
