Description and Table of Contents
Description
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 Brontes to Conrad sought to discover what made men, what broke them, and what restored them.
