330 .. $a A Complete Identity is an examination of the hero figure in the works of G.A. Henty
(1832-1902) and George MacDonald (1824-1905) and a reassessment of oppositional critiques
of their writing. It demonstrates the complementary characteristics of the hero figure,
which construct a complete identity commensurate with the Victorian ideal hero. The
relationship between the expansion of the British Empire and youthful heroism is established
through investigation of the Victorian political, social, and religious milieu, the
construct of the child, and the construct of the hero.
