"From action movies, video games to sports culture, modern masculinity is intrinsically
associated with violent competition. This legacy has its roots in the 19th-century
Romantic figure of the Byronic hero--the ideal Victorian male. His silhouette can
be traced through the works of Lord Byron, Jane Austen, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard
Kipling and Oscar Wilde"
