The modern-day suburb began, and began booming, in 19th-century
Britain. As suburbia spread, the New Woman arose and fin-de-siecle
concerns grew, suburban men felt more besieged. Anxieties about
hygiene, pollution, purity, the home, class, gender roles,
patrilineal power and the state of the Empire rippled through
British fiction. The new man of the house was trying, often
desperately, to hold onto the old order, changing even more rapidly
as the 20th century and modernist fiction arrived. This study
traces suburban masculinities in popular genres-speculative
fiction, comic fiction and detective fiction--and in literary works
from the late-Victorian era to the start of the First World War.
