Description

Explore the complex relationship between evolutionary theory and Victorian literature with this academic study from Routledge. In Masculinity in Four Victorian Epics: A Darwinist Reading, Clinton Machann applies the methods of literary Darwinism to examine how masculinity is presented in major long poems of the era. This work provides deep analysis of Tennyson's Idylls of the King, Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh, Clough's Amours de Voyage, and Browning's The Ring and the Book. By integrating research from evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, and anthropology, Machann brings a scientific perspective to the study of human nature within these classic texts. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in how scientific advancements shaped literary themes. It offers a fresh look at the Victorian epic through the lens of biological and social evolution, making it a significant addition to your collection of literary criticism.
