Evolution And Aesthetics, Therefore, Do Play A Major Part In Late Victorian

Evolution and aesthetics, therefore, do play a major part in late Victorian masculinity. The bildungsroman is an evolutionary figure, while aesthetic portrayals of men were beginning to come to the fore in this period. However, it is important to remember that these ideas do not govern masculinity entirely, mainly because writers are artists and not merely theorists. Although Wilde does adhere to a principal more closely than Dickens, both authors show a willingness to break away from theory when it is necessary for artistic purposes.
