Jack Tar to Union Jack examines the intersection between empire,
navy, and manhood in British society from 1870 to 1918. Through
analysis of sources that include courts-martial cases, sailors' own
writings, and the HMS Pinafore, Conley charts new depictions of
naval manhood during the Age of Empire, a period which witnessed
the radical transformation of the navy, the intensification of
imperial competition, the democratisation of British society, and
the advent of mass culture. Jack Tar to Union Jack argues that
popular representations of naval men increasingly reflected and
informed imperial masculine ideals in Victorian and Edwardian
Britain. Conley shows how the British Bluejacket as both patriotic
defender and dutiful husband and father stood in sharp contrast to
the stereotypic image of the brave but bawdy tar of the Georgian
navy. This book will be essential reading for students of British
imperial history, naval and military history, and gender studies.
