Tosh, John. "Masculinities in an Industrializing Society: Britain 1800 – 1914." Journal of British Studies Vol. 44, No. 2 (2005): 330-342. In this article Tosh explains this period as an industrializing society to which he describes as nationalism (which is his interpretation of the social constructs set in this time period). This piece of text takes a close look at how masculinity is weighed in different areas of this society such as through economic development, gender, and imperial expansion. Tosh’s points are clear. This article manages to construct a concise thought of masculinity developing in the Victorian era. As I formulate a more detailed thesis, I think keeping Tosh’s points of masculinity will be useful when looking at social constructs of the time in relation to the development of adolescence.
