- Abstract: Polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) was deeply uncomfortable with and sometimes critical of the traditional masculine role into which he had been forced as a naval officer and national hero. Yet it was necessary for him to accept this role in order to fulfill his family obligations. Scott's life story suggests that the "flight from domesticity" postulated by John Tosh may not tell the full truth about late- Victorian and Edwardian masculinity. This article uses Scott 's case to reconsider the standard picture of British manliness during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It describes the influence of gender roles and ideologies on Scott 's formative years, then examines representations of him in biographical literature. The combination of "masculine " and "feminine " traits in Scott 's character intrigued his early biographers. In contrast, some later writers viewed him as effeminate and therefore unheroic. Their criticisms indicate that the ideal of "hard" manliness among imperial heroes may be a construction of the post-imperial, age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: L'explorateur polaire Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) se sentait extrêmement inconfortable et parfois même très critique avec le rôle masculin traditionnel qu 'il fut contraint de prendre en tant qu 'officier de marine et héros national. Pourtant, il était nécessaire qu 'il accepte ce rôle pour s'acquitter de ses obligations familiales. L'histoire de la vie de Scott suggère qu'« échapper à la vie de famille » comme John Tosh l'a postulé, ne représente pas toute la vérité sur là masculinité à la fin de l'époque victorienne et durant l'ère edwardienne. Dans cet article, nous prenons le cas de Scott pour réexaminer les critères de jugement usuels sur la virilité anglaise de lafin du dix-neuvième siècle et du début du vingtième siècle. Nous montrons l'influence que les rôles de même que les idéologies sexuels ont eu sur Scott durant ses années de formation et examinons ensuite les représentations qu 'on a fait de lui dans la littérature biographique. L'association des traits de caractères masculin et féminin chez Scott intriguèrent ses premiers biographes. Par contraste, d'autres auteurs ultérieurement le considérèrent efféminé et, par conséquent, un non-héros. Leurs critiques suggèrent plutôt que l'idéal de la rude virilité chez les héros impériaux pourrait être une élaboration de l'époque post-impériale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
