Description

Explore the evolution of animal stories in nineteenth-century literature with this academic study from Routledge. Part of The Nineteenth Century Series, this book offers a fresh reappraisal of classic works that shaped children's fiction. Tess Cosslett examines iconic titles like Black Beauty, Beautiful Joe, Wind in the Willows, and Peter Rabbit to understand how animal characters functioned within the era's literary landscape. This work connects historical debates regarding humans and animals to the specific genre of children's animal stories. By applying various critical lenses, including feminist, postcolonial, and ecocritical theory, as well as Bakhtinian ideas of the carnivalesque, the text examines how these stories were constructed. It provides deep insights into the relationship between the child reader, the implied author, and the broader possibilities of children's literature during the period from 1786 to 1914.
