- W2041207804 abstract "This book is a contribution to “animal studies,” a comparatively new academic specialization. It extends from previous movements studying subservient groups: the working class, women, colonial peoples, and slaves, among others. Following the framework of exploitation seen in such groups, the early running in animal studies came from the animal rights and green movements. Animals were seen as persecuted minorities dominated by humans, but such a one-sided picture is too simple. Some reference to pre-existing zoological, anthropological, archaeological, and psychological work on animal-human relations might have avoided a baseline assumption of exploitation. It has always been clear that relationships between animals and humans are two-way affairs; animals may well have had significant impact on human history and culture. Donna Landry's book sets out to make a case for a significant influence by one group of animals on a national culture. There are two elements in the book's title. The first is a paradox: that “noble brutes” exist—non-human creatures (such as horses) nevertheless able to exhibit high-order human characteristics like nobility. The second is the claim that exemplars of such noble brutality, a relatively small group of imported oriental horses (generally Arab, Turk, or Barb stallions obtained by English aristocrats at great trouble and expense), were a major force in transforming English culture. The paradox of the noble brute is explored, without perhaps any definitive outcome, while some aspects of the claim about influence (if not transformation) of English culture by oriental horses stand up well, although this reviewer is not in the end convinced of any grand claim for wholesale cultural transformation." @default.
