Focusing on works by George Meredith, W. M. Thackeray, and Anthony
Trollope, Alice Crossley examines the emergence of adolescence in
the mid-Victorian period as a distinct form of experience.
Adolescence, Crossley shows, appears as a discrete category of
identity that draws on but is nonetheless distinguishable from
other masculine types. Important more as a stage of psychological
awareness and maturation than as a period of biological youth,
Crossley argues that the plasticity of male adolescence provides
Meredith, Thackeray, and Trollope with opportunities for
self-reflection and social criticism while also working as a
paradigm for narrative and imaginative inquiry about motivation,
egotism, emotional and physical relationships, and the
possibilities of self-creation. Adolescence emerges as a crucial
stage of individual growth, adopted by these authors in order to
reflect more fully on cultural and personal anxieties about
manliness. The centrality of male youth in these authors' novels,
Crossley demonstrates, repositions age-consciousness as an integral
part of nineteenth-century debates about masculine heterogeneity.
