The ubiquity of horses in literary texts, visual media, and other cultural documents indicates a vibrant cult of the horse during the Victorian Period. Treating the novels of Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Braddon, Anna Sewell, and George Moore, Gina M. Dorré shows how discourses concerning horses and horse care reveal anxieties related to industrialization and technology, constructions of gender and sexuality, class conflict and mobility, and national progress and imperial expansion.
