Drawing on British seafaring memoirs from the late-nineteenth century, Making Men in the Age of Sail explores how sailors became nostalgic symbols of maritime prowess and heroic masculinity. The book argues that maritime writing preserved ideas of masculinity in an era when modernization was challenging assumptions about gender, class, and society.
