| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project has researched how masculinity was constructed and contributed to promoting militarist spirit in the U.K. from the late Victorian era to the First World War in three points of view. First, we have analyzed how verbal representation was related to homosexuality and militarist spirit in the case of classically trained aesthetes such as J. A. Symonds and Walter Pater, and what strategies they used; secondly, we have investigated how those who represented “Muscular Christianity,” Charles Kingsley and Thomas Hughes, played a crucial role in building and exalting masculinity and militarist ethos among boys, with a focus on their books for children and school stories; and lastly, we have examined how popular literature and epitaphs on the First World War helped to construct the spirit and then transform it, and what it really was.
