Description
Soldier Heroes: British Adventure, Empire, and the Imagining of Masculinities
This book explores the powerful images of Britishness and masculinity in adventure stories, from the 19th-century era of imperialism to the present day. Dawson examines how these heroic figures have been internalized in the lives of men and boys.
Through a range of approaches, including literary theory, cultural materialism, and psychoanalysis, Dawson traces the evolution of British heroic masculinities and their ongoing impact on our understanding of masculinity.
