This book explores the evolution of male writers marked by peculiar
traits of childlike immaturity. The 'Boy-Man' emerged from the
nexus of Rousseau's counter-Enlightenment cultural primitivism,
Sensibility's 'Man of Feeling', the Chattertonian poet maudit, and
the Romantic idealisation of childhood. The Romantic era saw the
proliferation of boy-men, who congregated around such metropolitan
institutions as The London Magazine. These included John Keats,
Leigh Hunt, Charles Lamb, Hartley Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey and
Thomas Hood. In the period of the French Revolution, terms of
childishness were used against such writers as Wordsworth, Keats,
Hunt and Lamb as a tool of political satire. Yet boy-men writers
conversely used their amphibian child-adult literary personae to
critique the masculinist ideologies of their era. However, the
growing cultural and political conservatism of the nineteenth
century, and the emergence of a canon of serious literature,
inculcated the relegation of the boy-men from the republic of
letters.
