This essay examines three late-nineteenth-century novels— The Autobiography of a Flea, Black Beauty , and Beautiful Joe —that muddle the pornography and animal autobiography genres, revealing how representations of inter-species violence and sexuality were used to narrativize evolution and dissolve the ontological divide between human and animal.
