Description

Explore the complex role of the domestic pet within the Victorian household in this scholarly study from Routledge. This book examines how animal companionship helped define the boundaries of the natural family unit during the nineteenth century. By looking at the relationship between pets and various family members, the text provides a new way to understand domestic life. Flegel investigates the connection between pets and the heads of the household, as well as their relationship to children. The research also looks at how animals relate to those often viewed as outsiders in Victorian society, such as orphans, spinsters, bachelors, and same-sex couples. Using animal studies and queer theory, this work helps clarify how the presence of a pet shaped social norms and family structures in Victorian literature and culture.
