Traces the Byronic hero's history through authors as different as Lord Byron and Jane Austen, George Eliot and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling and Oscar Wilde. Much more than a literary genealogy, the history of the Byronic hero and its heir, romance masculinity, outlines the radical changes nineteenth and early twentieth-century masculinity undergoes.
