Description

Martin A. Danahay's lucidly argued volume explores the ideological tensions surrounding work and masculinity in Victorian Britain, examining how male writers and artists navigated the period's contradictory cultural definitions of labour. Work, Danahay contends, was rife with ideological contradictions for Victorian males, simultaneously synonymous with masculinity yet complicated by class and gender ideologies that idealised 'man's work' as physical, muscled labour whilst tending to feminise intellectual and artistic pursuits. This accessibly written introduction to the Nineteenth Century Series addresses the crucial division of labour in British society and culture, revealing how male creative practitioners struggled against cultural forces that romanticised working-class physicality. The study illuminates the tensions between masculine identity and intellectual labour during a formative period of British cultural history, offering readers fresh insights into Victorian attitudes toward gender, work and artistic production.
