Abstract:
New Men in Trollope's Novels challenges the popular construction of Victorian men as patriarchal despots and suggests that hands-on fatherhood may have been a nineteenth-century norm. Markwick's immensely knowledgeable, original, and witty book gives us a Trollope whose independent views on child-rearing education, courtship, marriage, parenthood, and gay men anticipate the 'new' man of the 1990s by more than a hundred years.
