A Complete Identity

Arts & Literature

Foreword

“Rachel Johnson's A Complete Identity is a deeply and thoroughly researched book which brings refreshing new readings and understandings of the work of G.A. Henty and George MacDonald, plus new ways of thinking about the construction of heroism in the nineteenth century. . . . Rachel Johnson's work strips away cliched thinking and draws the reader closer to discovering the 'true' hero in the nineteenth century.”
