The late Victorian and Edwardian officer class viewed hunting and
big game hunting in particular, as a sound preparation for imperial
warfare. For the imperial officer in the making, the 'blooding'
hunting ritual was a visible 'hallmark' of stirling martial
masculinity. Sir Henry Newbolt, the period poet of subaltern
self-sacrifice, typically considered hunting as essential for the
creation of a 'masculine sporting spirit' necessary for the
consolidation and extension of the empire. Hunting was seen as a
manifestation of Darwinian masculinity that maintained a
pre-ordained hierarchical order of superordinate and subordinate
breeds. Militarism, Hunting, Imperialism examines these ideas under
the following five sections: martial imperialism: the
self-sacrificial subaltern 'blooding' the middle class martial male
the imperial officer, hunting and war martial masculinity
proclaimed and consolidated martial masculinity adapted and
adjusted. This book was published as a special issue of the
International Journal of the History of Sport.
