Description

Explore the deep connection between nineteenth-century literature and the animal that shaped an era. In Victorian Fiction and the Cult of the Horse, Gina M. Dorre examines how the horse served as a central element in Victorian society. Through a study of various nineteenth-century texts, this work looks at the representational, emblematic, and rhetorical ways horses were used in writing. This book provides a look at how horse discourses reflect the era's most pressing concerns. Readers can learn how these representations helped negotiate anxieties surrounding industrialism and new technology. The text also investigates how horse imagery relates to constructions of gender and sexuality, as well as the social shifts caused by class mobility and conflict. By studying these literary patterns, you gain insight into how national progress and imperial changes were expressed through the lens of the horse. This is a significant resource for those studying literary theory, history, and the cultural movements of the Victorian period.
