This is the only critical edition of this perennially popular story. Sally Shuttleworth’s introduction finds, beneath the idyllic evocation of rural bliss and a tale of love and high adventure, a startling sub-text which rigidly defends Victorian values, and portrays a ‘manly’ hero constantly having to prove his masculinity to himself.
