Invisible Men

Fatherhood in Victorian Periodicals, 1850-1910

Beschreibung

Focuses on the growth of periodical literature from 1850 to 1910 to illustrate how Victorian and Edwardian culture problematized fatherhood within the family. Drawing on political, scientific, domestic, and religious periodicals, Nelson shows how positive portrayals of fatherhood virtually disappeared as motherhood claimed an exalted position.
