Actress/activists like Elizabeth Robins and Cicely Hamilton worked with Shaw and wrote their own feminist plays. This panel will examine the audience impact of these plays. 250 word abstracts to:

NEMLA 2014: Empire and Manliness in Nineteenth Century British Literature and Culture (Sept. 30th)

updated: 
Thursday, August 1, 2013 - 9:48am
Adam Kozaczka (Syracuse University)

This panel will explore representations of masculinity in the context of the long nineteenth century's (1789-1914) Empire-informed conceptions of national and gendered identity.

What were the politics behind representing the British soldier in the literature and/or visual arts of the long nineteenth century? Did these politics change if the soldier happened to be Scottish, Welsh, Irish, or native to the overseas colonies? What about masculinities that, though not belonging to soldiers, were highly informed by the martial aesthetics of Imperial manliness?
