A pioneering study of Victorian and Edwardian fatherhood,
investigating what being, and having, a father meant to
working-class people. Based on working-class autobiography, the
book challenges dominant assumptions about absent or 'feckless'
fathers, and reintegrates the paternal figure within the emotional
life of families. Locating autobiography within broader social and
cultural commentary, Julie-Marie Strange considers material
culture, everyday practice, obligation, duty and comedy as sites
for the development and expression of complex emotional lives.
Emphasising the importance of separating men as husbands from men
as fathers, Strange explores how emotional ties were formed between
fathers and their children, the models of fatherhood available to
working-class men, and the ways in which fathers interacted with
children inside and outside the home. She explodes the myth that
working-class interiorities are inaccessible or unrecoverable, and
locates life stories in the context of other sources, including
social surveys, visual culture and popular fiction.
