Making use of recent masculinity theories, Joseph A. Kestner sheds
new light on Victorian and Edwardian adventure fiction. Beginning
with works published in the 1880s, when writers like H. Rider
Haggard took inspiration from the First Boer War and the Zulu War,
Kestner engages tales involving initiation and rites of passage,
experiences with the non-Western Other, colonial contexts, and
sexual encounters. Canonical authors such as R.L. Stevenson,
Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, and Olive Schreiner are examined
alongside popular writers like A.E.W. Mason, W.H. Hudson and John
Buchan, providing an expansive picture of the crisis of masculinity
that pervades adventure texts during the period.
