Scarecrows of Chivalry': The Literature of Post-Imperial English Masculinity 
This study identifies an attenuated code of gentlemanliness as a shaping force in British writing of the postwar, post-imperial period, arguing that the disintegrated languages of Victorian manliness give literary form and social force to some of the major stylistic experiments of the 1950s and 1960s.
