- This monograph demonstrates sustained critical research, manifested across 6 extensive chapters of original critical analysis. It investigates the intersection of discourses about ageing and masculinity in the Victorian period, interrogated in fiction by three novelists. This study establishes male adolescence as a recognisably distinct form of experience and type of identity in the period. The centrality of male youth in these authors’ novels, I argue in considerable depth in this book, repositions age-consciousness as an integral part of nineteenth-century debates about masculine heterogeneity.
