“Better Friends”: Marshall Saunders Writing Humane Education and Envisioning Animal Rights
Get PDFThis essay examines several of the animal narratives that Margaret Marshall Saunders (1861–1947) wrote for children. From her first book, Beautiful Joe, a Dog’s Own Story, the first Canadian book to sell more than a million copies, to the end of her long career, Saunders developed a trenchant set of pedagogies and rhetorical strategies in support of humane education. Even as she negotiated her own culturally endorsed tendencies to see the animal as a thing, Saunders offered carefully reasoned arguments for the ethical treatment of animals through appealing pedagogies of humane education, renovations of her society’s views of non-human animals as objects for human consumption and pleasure, and rhetorical emphases on cultural understandings of connections between the child and the animal.
