Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ..." Remember Mary!" They often talked together of these things; and one day the youth said, " What hinders us, dear Mary, that we do not set out on a pilgrimage in search of our lost home '."' With a smile she answered, " Perhaps it will be our father's will that I shall go before. If I do, will you not dream you hear my voice singing, Her words made the youth sad in his heart. " I should never find the way, without you," he said; and, as he clasped her hand, the warm tears fell on it. Seven days after that, he went to see his Mary, and the sorrowing mother told him the _Angel of Death had been at the mill. Her darling one had gone to the spirit-land._ When that fair body was laid in the ground, John covered the place wiih the blue mountaiu flowers, and ihere he sat and wept. The good mother spoke words of comfort; but he heard her not. Soothing voices breathed in the evening air; but he arose. and stamped on the ground. and tore his hair, and screamed, " Sing me these songs no longerl l have no home. They are nll lies--lies that ye utter. llas not Mary gone away for ever, even as the vision of the primrose vanished into thin air? Find some other dreaming fool to listen to your song l " A grieved and moaning sound was heard. and died away il0Wly--rzlr)'ly, in the distance. The youth rushed down from the mountain. and roamed sullenly by the sea-shore. Although it was broad sunshine. the sky looked dark, and there was no light upon the earth. The pleasant birds were gone; crows cawed in the air; and the wuggnns creaked more harshly, since Mary died. All at once, a tall figure, with a brass trumpet in his hnnd, walked up and blew a loud blast in his ear. " In the name of the Furies, ...

This book fills a unique gap in the research on the cultural history of vegetarianism and veganism, children's literature and Victorian periodicals, and it is the first publication to systematically describe the phenomenon of Victorian children’s vegetarianism and its representations in literature and culture. Situated in the broad socio-literary context spanning the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the book lays the groundwork for contemporary children’s vegan literature and argues that present ethical and environmental concerns can be traced back to the Victorian period. Following the current turn in contemporary research on children, their experience and their voices, the author examines children’s vegetarian culture through the prism of the periodicals aimed directly at them. It analyses how vegetarian principles were communicated to children and listens to the voices of children who were vegetarians, and who tested their newly formed identity in the pages of three magazines published between 1893 and 1914: The Daisy Basket, The Children’s Garden and The Children’s Realm. This book will appeal to the growing body of researchers interested in the social, cultural and literary aspects of vegetarianism and veganism, human–animal relations, childhood studies, children’s literature, periodical studies and Victorian studies.

Nineteenth-century Britain was one of the birthplaces of modern vegetarianism in the west, and was to become a reform movement attracting thousands of people. From the Vegetarian Society's foundation in 1847, men, women and their families abandoned conventional diet for reasons as varied as self-advancement via personal thrift, dissatisfaction with medical orthodoxy, repugnance towards animal cruelty and the belief that carnivorism stimulated alcoholism and bellicosity. They joined in the pursuit of a more perfect society in which food reform combined with causes such as socialism and land reform. James Gregory provides an extensive exploration of the movement, with its often colourful and sometimes eccentric leaders and grass-roots supporters. He explores the rich culture of branch associations, competing national societies, proliferating restaurants and food stores and experiments in vegetarian farms and colonies. 'Of Victorians and Vegetarians' examines the wider significance of Victorian vegetarians, embracing concerns about gender and class, national identity, race and empire and religious authority. Vegetarianism embodied the Victorians' complicated response to modernity. While some vegetarians were averse to features of the industrial and urban world, other vegetarian entrepreneurs embraced technology in the creation of substitute foods and other commodities. Hostile, like the associated anti-vivisectionists and anti-vaccinationists, to a new 'priesthood' of scientists, vegetarians defended themselves through the new sciences of nutrition and chemistry. 'Of Victorians and Vegetarians' uncovers who the vegetarians were, how they attempted to convert their fellow Britons (and the world beyond) to their 'bloodless diet' and the response of contemporaries in a variety of media and genres. Through a close study of the vegetarian periodicals and organisational archives, extensive biographical research and a broader examination of texts relating to food, dietary reform and allied reform movements, James Gregory provides us with the first fascinating foray into the impact of vegetarianism on the Victorians. In doing so he gives revealing insights into the development of animal welfare, other contemporary reform movements and the histories of food and diet.
