- W2890870848 abstract "Published to widespread popularity almost forty years after Charles Kingsley’s Hypatia: or New Foes with an Old Face (1853), Marie Corelli’s Ardath: the Story of a Dead Self (1889) bears a remarkable similarity to Kingsley’s novel in its treatment of the Muscular Christian. A closer examination of masculinity in Ardath, however, reveals a number of cracks in a rigid, muscular construction throughout the novel. These epistemological gaps betray an underlying tension concerning men’s adherence to the older standard: an anxiety that raises a number of questions as to why, even as she worked so assiduously to emulate Hypatia’s depiction of manhood, Corelli simultaneously challenges some of Muscular Christianity’s fundamental tenets. In responding to these questions, this essay explores some of the fault lines between the two novels’ visions of “manhood,” paying particular attention to how Corelli revises Kingsley’s masculine formula and theimplications of her new model. It looks to theoretical constructions of masculinity, a historical contextualization of scientific and psychological treatment of degeneration, and close readings of both texts—specifically the language that Kingsley and Corelli employ to represent masculine energy. Ultimately, the essay engages how Corelli’s teleological approach to manhood is splintered. The division, along with its suggestions of repression and the activity and drive of the subconscious, signal a complexityin Corelli’s depiction of masculinity that escaped her reviewers towards the end of the nineteenth century, and has gone mostly unnoticed in critical studies at present.
