It offers a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on an emerging field of study and draws on historical, literary, visual and musical sources to demonstrate the centrality of the military and its masculine dimensions in the shaping of Victorian and Edwardian personal and national identities. Focusing on both the experience of military service and its imaginative forms, it examines such topics as bodies and habits, families and domesticity, heroism and chivalry, religion and militarism, and youth and fantasy.Cultural history of modern war.Manchester scholarship online.MasculinityGreat BritainHistory19th centurySociology, MilitaryGreat BritainHistory19th centuryGreat BritainSocial conditions19th centuryGreat BritainHistory, Military19th centuryGreat Britain.chivalry.culture and society.fantasy.heroism.masculinity.militarism.personal habits.religion.MasculinityHistorySociology, MilitaryHistory306.094109034Brown MichaelBarry Anna MariaBegiato JoanneStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910793744003321Martial masculinities3750037UNINA
