- This volume offers the first comprehensive examination of the importance of ancient Rome as a cultural touchstone for nineteenth-century manliness and Victorian codifications of masculinity. By examining the cultural significance of Rome, as distinct from Greece or ‘classics’ more broadly, this project also undertakes an important refocusing of a scholarly tradition which has tended to privilege the importance of ancient Greece and Hellenism in the nineteenth century, particularly when it comes to the construction of gender ideals. Features original research on lesser-studied texts by prominent 19thC authors, as well as archival research from unpublished archives of Wilson Barrett (19thC actor-manager).
