Warrior Generation, 1865–85: Militarism and British Working-Class Boys

Description

Richard Fulton's Warrior Generation fundamentally rethinks the efficacy of an institutional drive among influential middle-class opinion leaders to militarize lower-class boys in Victorian Britain. He contends that instead of engendering this desired militarism, as has been commonly argued, their push had merely contributed to a fast-developing culture of adventure and masculinity.
