- Pt. 1. Soldier heroes, adventure and the historical imagining of masculinities -- pt. 2. The hero-making and hagiography of Havelock of Lucknow : imperialism and military adventure in the nineteenth century -- pt. 3. The public and private lives of T.E. Lawrence : the imperial adventure hero in the modern world -- pt. 4. Soldier heroes and the imagining of boyhood masculinity.
- Soldier Heroes explores the imagining of masculinities within adventure stories. Drawing on literary theory, cultural materialism and Kleinian psychoanalysis, it analyses modern British adventure heroes as historical forms of masculinity originating in the era of nineteenth-century popular imperialism, traces their subsequent transformations and examines the way these identities are internalized and lived by men and boys.
