Extractions: -young Anna Sewell prompting her horse to go faster One of the great unanswered questions of life is the mysterious attraction that horses hold for young girls. Sure, we all know that there's some kind of psychosexual component, but why horses in particular? At any rate, Black Beauty Black Stallion National Velvet , etc.) were never central to my childhood reading, but my wife fondly recalls her father reading it to hera topic I feel it is best to avoid commenting on. Anna Sewell was left crippled by a childhood accident and depended on horses to get around. A Quaker, she was apparently extremely sensitive about any violence towards animals. As the quote above indicates, she even used prompting rather than prodding to guide her own rides . In the closing years of her life, suffering intense pain herself, she wrote this book to call attention to the mistreatment of horses and it became a genuine publishing phenomenon. She uses a first person (first horse?) narrative to completely anthropomorphize Black Beauty, a well bred and even tempered stallion who passes from owner to owner. Over the course of the book, Beauty's owners display varying standards of treatment from kindness to neglect to open brutality. But Beauty perseveres and happily ends up back with his original owners. Along the way, Sewell also gets the opportunity to take some potshots at hunting, drinking, poverty and the like.

Extractions: The fox hunter and the big game hunter are two iconic figures of Victorian England. But this period also saw the emergence of a number of animal advocacy movements. Antivivisectionism, vegetarianism, and animal humanitarianism took a peripheral but important place alongside the more widespread movements in feminism, anti-imperialism, and social and labor reform. While Anna Sewell was not officially a part of any particular movement, her book Black Beauty made a public case for the abuses suffered by that most English of animals, the horse. Published in 1877, Black Beauty, the "autobiography of a horse," has become a children's classic and is generally considered the first "animal story" of note. Sewell's mother, Mary Sewell, herself an author of children's stories, raised her daughter as a devout Quaker. Their faith extended kindness and compassion to animals as well as to humans, and in Black Beauty, Anna Sewell sought to call attention to the cruelties of fashionable practices designed to improve the appearance of the horse. One such practice was docking, or shortening, the tail, which, in addition to causing the horse pain, also left the animal vulnerable to insect bites and stings. Another practice and the one that caused Sewell the greatest agony was the use of the "bearing rein," which held the horse's head toward its chest, producing not only a graceful arc to the horse's neck but also respiratory problems, severely curtailed vision, and a loss of balance.

Extractions: To paraphrase Virginia Woolf, on or about November 1865, children's literature changed. With the publication of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll essentially did away with the adult in children's literature. The fantasy world of Wonderland had its own rules, which appealed to a child's sense of play rather than to an adult's sense of propriety. Instead of offering dry moral instruction, children's literature after Alice made these lessons playful and exciting: To be moral was not to sit about the house with hands-folded piety put rather to gad about the sea, the Empire, and secret gardens with what we now would call childlike abandon. The "golden age of children's literature," ushered in by Alice and ending with A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books (1924-1928), idealized the child as fanciful and free and, most importantly, it insisted that the child could best learn how to be good through a storyteller's appeal to the imagination rather than through an adult's assertion of the rules of behavior. Social and economic conditions in England and America had much to do with the rise of children's literature as its own market. The industrialization of the first half of the century brought about cheaper and more efficient methods of production. From the 1860s on, books were more easily produced and were generally considered less precious: Little hands could now soil the pages of a book without devastating the middle-class family financially.
