ABSTRACT

This chapter concludes with a brief examination of Victoria Cross's Anna Lombard and Olive Schreiner's From Man to Man, novels that represent the on-going concern of how to integrate the New Man into the New Woman novel. This book argues that Schreiner's African Farm and Trooper Peter deemed suffering and even failure as necessary aspects of New Manhood. Tracing the New Man through Victorian fiction can also further people understanding of the marriage plot. Many of the authors have discussed depict men 'constantly being drawn two ways as Gibbs states between desires for supremacy and sympathy with their female counterparts ids discussed in this book. It also discusses that though people receive little description of Drummond's character, his caring hands and his desire to find and restore the fallen Bertie - an act that echoes those of the Dickensian gentlemen. Finally, the chapter also presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
