项目摘要

The project explores a key, but previously unrecognised, figure in the history of masculinity: the Victorian military man of feeling. Using a wide range of cultural forms, including literature, reportage and exhibited visual art, as well as craft and writing produced by soldiers and their families and friends, the project makes a case for the cultural centrality of the ideal of soldierly gentleness throughout the nineteenth century. It augments a growing body of work on the diversity of Victorian masculinities, focusing on the previously unrehabilitated figure of the soldier, still held as an imaginative icon for the uncommunicative, stiff-upper-lipped model of nineteenth-century manliness. Recognising a widespread emphasis on soldiers' emotional articulacy and aptitude for physical care, this project deposes stubbornly persistent ideas about masculinity in this period as well as enhancing our understanding of the complexities of battlefield feeling. The central research is organised thematically, with sections each treating a different facet of felt experience, with feeling interpreted, through theories of affect and materiality, in its broadest sense, to comprise emotion, tactility and sensation:1) Reading War: Paranoid and Reparative Strategies and the Politics of AffectThe project begins with a self-conscious examination of its political implications, considering how far representations of the gentle soldier suggest a revision of attitudes towards to warfare and the extent to which they can be deployed in the service of militaristic agenda.2) "The company of gentlemen": Thackeray's Military Men of Feeling and the Eighteenth-century TraditionColonel Newcome, protagonist of the novel Thackeray published during the Crimean war, is inspired by Orme's bloodthirsty and imperialistic Tales of India, while his literary hero is Richardson's pacifistic Sir Charles Grandison. This section traces competing models and literary legacies of manliness, from C18th Imperialist history and sentimental fiction, up to Colonel Newcome's popularity with WW1 soldiers.3) Sentimental Soldiers: Dickens's Christmas Writings and the Heroics of EmotionDickens's Christmas number for Household Words of 1854, a tale of physically and morally restorative soldiering, participated directly in the journal's engagement with the Crimean war through detailed reportage. I consider how sentimental treatments of the soldier in fiction and art, responded to the journalistic representation of the Crimea and broader calls for army reform.4) "Our poor Colonel loved him as if he had been his own son": Family Feeling in the CrimeaHere I bring together literary and first-hand treatments of the regiment as family, focusing on an extraordinary, previously unstudied album held at NAM, which records responses to the death of Captain Lempriere in the Crimea, the diminutive "child of the 55th regiment". 5) Children of the Regiment: Narratives of Battlefield AdoptionThis section accounts for the extra-ordinary proliferation of the narrative of the soldier adopting a dispossessed child in the literature, art and music of the 1850s and 60s. 6) Soldier Art: Textiles and TactilityWhile 'Trench Art' of the First World War has received detailed treatment, the range of art and craft produced by soldiers in the Crimea has not been studied. I consider the non-militaristic felt experience of soldiers who knitted and quilted.7) Reparative Soldiering: Cultures of Male Care-givingNightingale's legacy has totally eclipsed the male provision of physical care in the Crimea. This section recognises the contribution of ambulance men, wound dressers and orderlies using previously unstudied material at the Wellcome library. Afterword: Legacies of the Gentle Soldier in the 21st CenturyA research group, which places this central project in an international context, and a range of Impact events will be central to the development of the thinking outlined here.

该项目探讨了男性气质历史上一个关键但以前未被认可的人物：维多利亚时代的军人。该项目利用广泛的文化形式，包括文学、报告文学和展览视觉艺术，以及士兵及其家人和朋友制作的工艺和写作，为整个十九世纪士兵温柔理想的文化中心地位提供了理由。世纪。它补充了越来越多的关于维多利亚时代男性气质多样性的作品，重点关注以前未被提及的士兵形象，仍然被认为是19世纪男子气概的沉默，僵硬的上唇模型的想象力偶像。认识到对士兵的情感表达能力和身体护理能力的广泛重视，这个项目在这一时期丢弃了顽固坚持的关于男性气概的想法，并提高了我们对战场感觉复杂性的理解。中心研究是按主题组织的，每个部分都处理感受经验的不同方面，通过情感和物质性理论，在最广泛的意义上，将感受解释为包括情感，情感和感觉：1）阅读战争：偏执和修复策略与情感政治该项目开始于对其政治含义的自我意识检查，考虑到温柔士兵的表现在多大程度上表明了对战争态度的修正，以及他们在多大程度上可以被部署在军国主义的军队中。2）“绅士的陪伴”：萨克雷在克里米亚战争期间出版的小说《萨克雷》的主人公纽科姆上校受到了奥姆的《印度故事》的启发，而他的文学英雄是理查森笔下的和平主义者查尔斯·格兰迪逊爵士。本节追溯了竞争模式和文学遗产的男子气概，从18世纪的帝国主义历史和感伤的小说，到纽科姆上校的流行与第一次世界大战的商人。狄更斯的《圣诞祝福》和《祝福的英雄》狄更斯1854年为《家常话》写的圣诞节系列，一个关于身体和精神恢复的祝福的故事，通过详细的报道直接参与了杂志对克里米亚战争的报道。我认为如何在小说和艺术的士兵感伤的治疗，回应了克里米亚和更广泛的呼吁军队改革的新闻代表。4）“我们可怜的上校爱他，就好像他是自己的儿子”：在这里，我汇集了文学和第一手的治疗团作为家庭，专注于一个非凡的，以前未经研究的专辑在不结盟运动举行，其中记录了对Lempriere上尉在克里米亚死亡的反应，这个矮小的“第55团的孩子”。5)团的孩子们：战地故事这一部分讲述了在19世纪50年代和60年代的文学、艺术和音乐中，士兵收养一个被遗弃的孩子的故事的异乎寻常的扩散。6)兵诀：纺织品和触觉虽然第一次世界大战的“战壕艺术”得到了详细的处理，但克里米亚士兵制作的艺术和工艺品的范围还没有被研究。我认为士兵们编织和缝制的非军国主义的感觉经验。7）补偿性的士兵：男性护理文化南丁格尔的遗产已经完全掩盖了男性在克里米亚提供的身体护理。本节认识到救护人员的贡献，伤口敷料和勤务员使用以前未研究的材料在惠康图书馆。后记：21世纪温柔士兵的遗产一个研究小组将这一中心项目置于国际背景下，一系列影响事件将成为这里概述的思想发展的核心。
