Rational Souls and Animal Bodies: Race, Religion, and Cross-Species Sympathy in John Aikin and Anna Letitia Barbauld’s Evenings at Home (1792–96)
When the adult interlocutor of one dialogue asserts humans’ “right to make a reasonable use of all animals for our advantage” (4: 150), his authority derives from the biblical injunction that humans “have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” (King James Bible, Gen. 1.28).3 These repeated reminders of what it means to be human constitute an attempt to teach children their place in the world in both intellectual and religious terms. Rational Souls and Animal Bodies Set within a fantastic, oriental past, “when Fairies and Genii possessed the power they have now lost,” “The Transmigrations of Indur” traces the progress of an Indian Brahmin’s soul as it transmigrates from one animal body to another (2: 1).8 In an earlier publication, Aikin and Barbauld had conceded that “Eastern tale[s], with their genii, enchantments, and transformations” are liable to be censured as “absurd and extravagant” (J. and A. L. Aikin 122).9 The story’s presence in Evenings at Home can be accounted for by the text’s capacious form. In this example, Aikin strips Thomson’s poetry of its sympathetic function: it may be “pretty,” but it is no guide for ethical living. [...]Aikin suggests that Thomson is aware of this and has the capacity to distinguish between his art and his lived experience: regardless of his poetic sentiments, he can enjoy his beef-steak “with as good a relish as any man.” [...]a “huge tyger” emerges from the vegetation and feeds upon the lynx (4: 155).
