Play Up and Play the Game

The Heroes of Popular Fiction

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the evolution of the fictional hero, this book highlights characters embodying fair play, loyalty, and fearlessness, while often appearing conformist and somewhat sexless. It traces their development from the Victorian schoolboy archetype in "Tom Brown's School Days" to the more complex secret agents of the twentieth century, exemplified by Buchan's works. Through this analysis, the book delves into the cultural values and societal expectations that shaped these iconic figures over time.
