New Humour and Masculinity at the Fin de Siècle

New Humour and Masculinity at the Fin de Siècle

This book explores the popular writing of the New Humourists and their vital engagement with late Victorian conceptions of manliness. Accused by their critics of lowness and inconsequentiality, these works act as literary mediations of a lower middle-class urban masculinity, revolving around ideas of office work, urban modernity, and adventure narratives.
