Description
Late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century poets concentrated some of their creative
energies into poetry in which animals are used to comment on human experience. Such
poets as Anna Barbauld, Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor
Coleridge employ images of animals for social and political commentary as well as
individual and private psychological exploration. All four poets comment on why and
how animals are significant in a human context, exploring the larger political and social
concerns symbolized by animal misfortune, and simultaneously drawing (sometimes
unintentionally) attention to animal welfare.
