The Victorian Novel and Masculinity

Book Overview

What did it mean, in the rapidly changing world of Victorian England, to 'be a man'? In essays written specially for this volume, nine distinguished scholars from Britain and the USA show how Victorian novelists from the Bront s to Conrad sought to discover what made men, what broke them, and what restored them.
