Romans in Victorian literature are at once pagan persecutors, pious statesmen, pleasure-seeking decadents, and heroes of empire: this volume examines how these manifold and often contradictory representations are deployed in a range of ways in the works of authors from Thomas Macaulay to Rudyard Kipling to create useable models of masculinity.

Autorenporträt
Laura Eastlake is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Edge Hill University, having previously taught English and Classics at the University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on nineteenth-century masculinities and how Victorian writers like Wilkie Collins, Anthony Trollope, Rudyard Kipling, and Oscar Wilde used the ancient world to construct different styles of manliness. She has published on decadent masculinities of the fin de siècle and Wilkie Collins's little-known first novel Antonina. She is also the Public Engagement Officer for the Classical Reception Studies Network (CRSN) and an Editor of the Wilkie Collins Journal.
