University adds content warnings to classic children's tales

University bosses have slapped trigger warnings on a series of children’s classic books that have enthralled millions of youngsters down the generations.

Dozens of titles, including Tarzan, Robinson Crusoe and Black Beauty, have been given "content warnings" in case of offending undergraduates on English courses at Leeds University, although many are normally considered to be children’s books.

The university warnings are listed in a 17-page document issued by its school of English, giving content notes for 63 of the 71 modules which make up its undergraduate courses, the Mail On Sunday reports.
