“Troubling Victorian Masculinities”
Recent scholarship has acknowledged a spectrum of masculine ideals in the Victorian era. As heteronormativity, chivalry, and moral heroism were being troubled in fascinating ways, a range of “alternate masculinities” began to emerge across this period. How were these multi-form constructions of gender expressed or challenged? What were their social, historical, and political underpinnings and repercussions? The panel chairs invite papers exploring how traditional and unconventional Victorian masculinities respond to and impact their social moments.
