Description: This essay uses novels by G. A. Henty and George Manville Fenn to complicate contemporary understandings of the representation of boyhood masculinity in late nineteenth-century boys' adventure fiction. The novels explore the imperial relationship between Britain and India at three key moments and display surprisingly fluid formations of boyhood identity.
