Description

This academic study by Joseph A. Kestner applies contemporary masculinity theories to explore Victorian and Edwardian adventure fiction, revealing how writers like H. Rider Haggard, R.L. Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, and Olive Schreiner shaped representations of male identity through colonial narratives and coming-of-age tales. The analysis covers works from the 1880s onward, examining initiation rites, encounters with non-Western cultures, imperial settings, and intimate relationships across both canonical literature and popular fiction. Kestner juxtaposes established authors with writers including A.E.W. Mason, W.H. Hudson, and John Buchan, offering fresh perspectives on how adventure narratives constructed and communicated evolving ideas about manhood during Britain's imperial age.

Key Features

Examines canonical authors including R.L. Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling, and Joseph Conrad alongside popular adventure writers like John Buchan and A.E.W. Mason.

Analyses how Victorian and Edwardian writers explored masculine identity through colonial contexts and encounters with non-Western cultures.

Explores initiation narratives and rites of passage as central frameworks for understanding adventure fiction published from the 1880s forward.
