Description
This essay focuses on Joanna Baillie's pamphlet and poems against cruelty to animals. It contextualizes this aspect of her work with respect to growing concerns about the treatment of animals during the Romantic Era and with respect to the biographical circumstances-Baillie's lodging with her uncle, the renowned surgeon John Hunter-that placed her in the midst of controversy about animal experimentation.
