Summary
When the Humanitarian League wrote to Hardy requesting permission to publish three of his poems (‘The Blinded Bird’, ‘The Puzzled Game-Birds’ and ‘Wagtail and Baby’), the author sent the request swiftly on to Macmillan (Collected Letters, V, p. 240). As its title suggests, Bertram Lloyd’s The Great Kinship: An Anthology of Humanitarian Poetry (1921) is based on a similar principle to that which Hardy expressed in his letter to the League. The expressed intention of Lloyd’s introduction and the poems selected in his anthology is to provide a general history of the representation of animals in Western literature.
