In the beginning of animal rights -- Grounds for argument -- Keeping pets: William Cowper and his hares -- Barbarian pleasures: against hunting -- Savage amusements of the poor: John Clare's badger sonnets -- Work animals, slaves, servants: Coleridge's young ass -- The slaughterhouse and the kitchen: Charles Lamb's 'Dissertation upon Roast Pig' -- Caged birds and wild.
