    Heroes and Heroism in British Fiction Since 1800: Case Studies

     
    Heroes and Heroism in British Fiction Since 1800: Case Studies

    Description

    This book is about the manifestations and explorations of the heroic in narrative literature since around 1800. It traces the most important stages of this representation but also includes strands that have been marginalised or silenced in a dominant masculine and higher-class framework - the studies include explorations of female versions of the heroic, and they consider working-class and ethnic perspectives. The chapters in this volume each focus on a prominent conjuncture of texts, histories and approaches to the heroic. Taken together, they present an overview of the 'literary heroic' in fiction since the late eighteenth century.
