Description

In Beastly Possessions, Sarah Amato examines how Victorians of all social classes integrated animals into their daily lives. This study from University of Toronto Press explores how animals were captured, bred, exhibited, and sold within the flourishing consumer culture of Victorian Britain. From ordinary pets acting as living parlour decorations to exotic creatures serving as symbols of empire in zoos, animals became significant commodities. The book looks at how animals functioned as companions, objects of curiosity, or even consumer mascots. Whether as a way to demonstrate social and moral status or as public spectacles, the presence of animals reveals much about the era's unique relationship with the natural world.
