The New Man of the House
The modern-day suburb began in 19th century Britain. As suburbia spread, the New Woman arose and fin-de-siecle concerns grew, suburban men felt increasingly besieged. Anxieties about hygiene, pollution, purity, the home, class, gender roles, patrilineal power and the state of the Empire rippled through British fiction. The old order began to change even more rapidly as modernist 20th century fiction came along. This study traces themes of suburban masculinity in popular genres-speculative fiction, comic fiction and detective fiction-and in literary works,1880-1914.
