Animals in literature taught Victorian children how to be behave. If you are a postmodern posthumanist, you might argue, \"But the animals in literature did not write their own accounts.\" Animal characters may be the creations of writers' imagination, but animals did and do exist in their own right, as did and do humans. The original essays in \u003ci\u003eAnimals and Their Children in Victorian \u003c\/i\u003eexplore the representation of animals in children's literature by resisting an anthropomorphized perception of them. Instead of focusing on the domestication of animals, this book analyzes how animals in literature \"civilize\" children, teaching them how to get along with fellow creatures--both human and nonhuman. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Brenda Ayres, once Full Professor on the graduate faculty of English, is now teaching online as Adjunct Professor for Liberty University and Southern New Hampshire University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Sarah E.
