- 요약British nineteenth-century masculinity was constantly theorized and renegotiated, with many new models of manliness emerging as a result. This dissertation argues that maritime masculinity was one of these models-an underexamined, yet particularly viable and enduring one-a fact that reminds us that nineteenth-century Britain very much defined itself in relation to its maritime exploits. By tapping into sailors' actual experiences and contemporary perceptions of maritime culture, novelists played a crucial role in shaping and promoting a masculine form of being that was shaped by the maritime world and an emergent cult of domesticity. This dissertation explores maritime masculinity as it appears in different iterations in novels from across the century (1815-1915), highlighting its pliability across settings and genres as well. In the introductory chapter, domestic maritime masculinity is defined as a model of manliness that takes skills, practices, and traditions developed at sea and adopts them into a way of navigating personal, familial, and social problems both onboard the ship and back on the homeland. The chapters that follow trace the evolution of this masculinity throughout the nineteenth century across Captain Frederick Marryat's sea novels of the 1820s and 30s, mid-century social problem novels by Charles Dickens and Elizabeth Gaskell, and Joseph Conrad's end-of-the-century novels. An examination of these texts shows the emergence of a new image of the sailorincreasingly defined in relation to shifting domestic ideologies. While chapter 2 locates in Marryat's novels the formulation for a domesticated sailor that rose to the status of national symbol, chapter 3 sees social problem novels placing this formulation in the context of the Victorian city and the new forms of sociability it generated, extending maritime masculinity's affordances, often in the service of more subversive ends. Chapter 4 shifts its focus to the end of the century, finding in Conrad's work a breakdown of domestic maritime masculinity that occurs as a result of a "new navalism" that hindered possibilities for domestic affect and gave way to an image of a more fragile sailor.
