Reviews

'Deane's prose is colorful, pacey, and vibrant. As well as being eminently readable, however, the book is also rigorously researched and intellectually stimulating. Its use of popular fiction as a broad lens through which to consider late-Victorian gender ideals has resulted in a more comprehensive understanding of cultural constructions of New Imperialist manliness than has hitherto been available.' Laura Eastlake, Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies 'This thoughtful and scholarly book will be valued by all who have an interest in the shifting notions of manhood in the half-century before the Great War.' Malcolm Tozer, History of Education '... this is a persuasive and eminently readable book, and one that will be a valuable resource for anyone who researches and/or teaches late-Victorian literature and culture.' Nicholas Daly, Nineteenth-Century Literature
