What is Frank Buckland (1826–1880) and Henry Parry Liddon (1829–1890): Vivisection in Oxford about?

Abstract When Frank Buckland went up to Christ Church, Oxford, in 1844, he took his animals with him; his later adult expertise made him the most sought-after authority on zoology of his age. Drawing on contemporary literature and archival material, this chapter examines the possible influence of Buckland and his famous menagerie on his peers, particularly on Henry Parry Liddon—a member of the then-emerging Anglo-Catholic party within the Church of England—and by extension on Lewis Carroll and his anthropomorphic literary themes. In Liddon’s opposition to vivisection at Oxford in Convocation in 1885 it is possible to trace the influence of the youthful pleasure of the company of Buckland’s creatures; in turn, both he and Carroll have silently influenced many for whom the debate on vivisection at Oxford stands as an early touchstone of engagement with the issue of animal experimentation within the academy.
