In the novels of Charles Dickens, Anne Bront©±, George Eliot and George Gissing, characters are identified who could be classed as prototypes of the New Man. 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.--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Men in literature $x History. 650 0 $a Masculinity $x History. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Fiction $x History. 830 0 $a Gender and genre ; $v no. 14. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717023336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=026017CC6B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
