Made to order: an interpretation of masculinity in Britain during the Great War

This thesis examines what it meant to be male in Great Britain during the period leading up to and during the First World War, along with the masculine identity shared in the ranks of British soldiers serving on the continent as well as among the men who remained at home. The author looks at how the British male living in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century saw himself and how that self-image was the result of a unique historical transformation -- the masculinization of British society.
