ANNA SEWELL
WRITER’S BIOGRAPHY
 Born into a religious Quaker family.
 Mostly educated at home.
 First attended school only at 12.
 Slipped and severely injured both her ankles.
 Sadly, never truly recovered and became lame.
 Moved around in crutches and horse-drawn carriages.
 Contributed to her love for horses and the humane
  treatment of horses.
 Black Beauty was Anna Sewell’s only novel.
 Written mostly when she was sick.
 Sold to the publishers for only 40 pounds.
 Broke publishing records and became the 6th
  bestseller of that time.
 Unfortunately, Anna died 5 months after that
  of hepatitis.
 Black Beauty is now a children’s classic though
  it was originally written for those who worked
  with horses.
 Chapter 13 of Black Beauty sums up Anna’s
 hopes beautifully:

 "There is no religion without
 love, and people may talk as
 much as they like about their
 religion, but if it does not teach
 them to be good and kind to
 other animals as well as humans,
 it is all a sham."
BACKGROUND
 Set during the Victorian era (1837-1901).
 The reformation of the social classes in
  England.
 The different social classes are portrayed in the
  novel.
 The improved economic status of the middle
  class enabled them to afford horses.
 However, some do not learn how to take care of
  horses, thereby leading to the abuse of horses.
Not only did horses provide a means
 of transportation but very often they
 were used as labour for a variety of
 purposes.
As brute labour, they were taken for
 granted, beaten and abused.
Anna Sewell attacked all these
 abusive practises in Black Beauty.
SYNOPSIS
 Black Beauty is a beautiful recount of the story
  of a handsome stallion living in Victorian
  England.
 Had a happy childhood in the countryside
  before being sold to various owners and goes
  through various hardship and mistreatment.
 Survived a horrible stable fire and also a
  serious illness.
 Became a horse for rent and a taxi puller in
  working class London.
 Finally sold to a kind farmer.
 Retires in peace in the countryside.
 The novel highlights the issue of cruelty to
  animals in Victorian England and remains a
  relevant issue till today.
 The story is told poignantly and remains a
  heartwarming story till today.
SETTING
Basically, only two kinds of
 setting:
 *Town
 *Countryside
One which holds good memories
One which holds bad memories
CHARACTERS
BEAUTY & GINGER
THEMES
 Mistreatment of animals
 The horses in the story represent different
 forms of mistreatment; deliberate cruelty,
 cruelty in the name of fashion, and
 cruelty committed in ignorance. Evidence
 of abuse that causes pain and suffering
 for horses is found in the novel.
Sewell shows us that mean-tempered horses are
not born but are caused by cruel treatment.
Example: Ginger is bad-tempered largely
because of the mistreatment she suffers when
young, while Black Beauty is good-tempered
largely because he enjoys good treatment when
young. And even Ginger. with all her problems,
eventually quiets down during her time at
Birtwick Hall, because of the calming effect of
the humane treatment that she receives.
 Upright Behaviour
 Black Beauty is not only about the
 proper treatment of horse, but also about
 the proper behaviour of humans in
 general. The lessons given by Duchess to
 Beauty, by the coachman John and the
 cab driver Jerry among others, are
 purposely placed in the novel for the
 edification of the reader.
 These lessons include:
(ii)Duchess teaching that one should always do
  one’s best and work hard;
(iii)John explaining the value of following an
  example of kindness by doing the same for
  others.
(iv) Jerry demonstrating integrity, helping others
  in need, and establishing the family as a
  priority. Others, such as Squire Gordon, lecture
  on Sewell’s main theme: the need for kindness
  to animals.
VALUES
 Love animals and treat them well –
  Animals are God’s creatures as well, therefore,
  humans need to love and treat them humanely.
 Always give your best – Black Beauty
  always does her best to serve her masters,
  regardless of whether they are good or bad
  masters.
 Be hardworking and go the extra mile –
  When Mrs. Gordon falls sick and requires a
  doctor, Black Beauty rides in the rain despite
  her tiredness in order to bring the doctor to
  Mrs. Gordon.
 Be gentle and good – Duchess advises Black
  Beauty to be gentle and good always.
 Be a good friend to others – Black Beauty is a
  good friend to Ginger.
 Speak up when we see cruelty towards
  animals – The kind gentleman reprimands the cab
  driver who beat his horse.
 Do not abuse animals in the name of fashion
  and beauty – The lady of Earlshall Park insists on
  checkreins for Black Beauty though he is in pain so
  that he can hold up his head high and look good.

  • 12. THEMES  Mistreatment of animals The horses in the story represent different forms of mistreatment; deliberate cruelty, cruelty in the name of fashion, and cruelty committed in ignorance. Evidence of abuse that causes pain and suffering for horses is found in the novel.
  • 13. Sewell shows us that mean-tempered horses are not born but are caused by cruel treatment. Example: Ginger is bad-tempered largely because of the mistreatment she suffers when young, while Black Beauty is good-tempered largely because he enjoys good treatment when young. And even Ginger. with all her problems, eventually quiets down during her time at Birtwick Hall, because of the calming effect of the humane treatment that she receives.
  • 14.  Upright Behaviour Black Beauty is not only about the proper treatment of horse, but also about the proper behaviour of humans in general. The lessons given by Duchess to Beauty, by the coachman John and the cab driver Jerry among others, are purposely placed in the novel for the edification of the reader.
  • 15.  These lessons include: (ii)Duchess teaching that one should always do one’s best and work hard; (iii)John explaining the value of following an example of kindness by doing the same for others.
