Indeed, by the close of the nineteenth century ‘certain tests had made it easier to ascertain if one were a true man: the duel, courage in war, and more generally, the possession of will power as well as the manly virtues of “quiet strength” and of an acceptable moral posture. Proper looks and comportment had provided proof of true manhood.’55 This posture became the goal of the elite young man in training. Slouch not, it reveals too much!
George du Maurier, The Six-mark Teapot. From Punch (30 October 1880).
