Appearing alongside the emerging humane movements of the nineteenth century and beyond is a kind of storytelling sympathetic to protectionist efforts well-described as a literature of protest. Compassion-inclined tales like the Dolittle adventures by Hugh Lofting educate readers on a wide range of ethical questions, empathize with the vulnerable, and envision peaceful coexistence with other species. Memorable characters like Black Beauty and Beautiful Joe, Ivan the gorilla and Louis the trumpeter swan, Hazel and Cheeta, Mr. Bultitude and Doctor Rat do not merely amuse. They are voices from the margins who speak with moral urgency to those with ears to hear. This broad survey of ethical themes in animal fiction highlights the unique contributions creative writers make toward animal welfare efforts. 410 0$aThe Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,$x2634-6680 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aAesthetics 606 $aAnimal Ethics 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 615 0$aAesthetics. 615 0$aAnimal welfare$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 14$aAesthetics. 615 24$aAnimal Ethics. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 676 $a809.93362 676 $a100 700 $aGilmour$b Michael J.$0989033 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863180003321 996 $aCreative compassion, literature and animal welfare$92846137 997 $aUNINA
