The New Man, Masculinity and Marriage in the Victorian Novel

Part of the Gender and Genre series
See all formats and editions

By tracing the rise of the New Man alongside novelistic changes in the representations of marriage, MacDonald shows how this figure encouraged Victorian writers to reassess masculine behaviour and to re-imagine the marriage plot in light of wider social changes.

She finds examples in novels by Dickens, Anne Brontë, George Eliot and George Gissing.
