Judith Halberstam’s book “Female Masculinity” has helped open the discourse on masculinity removed from the male body. However, some theorists fear that this simply recapitulates female agency under a traditionally exclusively male term. How is this true, or not true—especially within Victorian literature? How is masculinity read in Victorian time? Does “masculinities” exist, or is there only one type of masculinity represented in Victorian novels? Papers on female masculinity in Victorian literature are preferred, but work on alternative masculinities will also be given consideration.
