Sarah Cole examines the rich literary and cultural history of
masculine intimacy in the twentieth century. Cole approaches this
complex and neglected topic from many perspectives - as a
reflection of the exceptional social power wielded by the
institutions that housed and structured male bonds; as a matter of
closeted and thwarted homoerotics; as part of the story of the
First World War. Cole shows that the terrain of masculine
fellowship provides an important context for understanding key
literary features of the modernist period. She foregrounds such
crucial themes as the over-determined relations between imperial
wanderers in Conrad's tales, the broken friendships that permeate
Forster's fictions, Lawrence's desperate urge to make culture out
of blood brotherhood and the intense bereavement of the war poet.
Cole argues that these dramas of compelling and often tortured male
friendship have helped to define a particular spirit and voice
within the literary canon.
