The Horse in Poetry and Prose

“…equines carry great material, functional, and symbolic value for humans, making them prime subjects for artistic representation; and equines convey extraordinary visual beauty, physical stature, and dynamic movement, making them ideal objects for aesthetic treatment. The status of the equine in literature differs.”

The Horse in Poetry and Prose by Charles Caramello is the fourth in a series of articles that look at horses in paintings, memorial statues, and theatre and film, published online in Horsetalk.
