Abstract
This article focuses upon toy soldiers and masculinity. I examine H.G. Wells's fascination with these toys in his war-gaming manuals, as well as Robert Louis Stevenson's toy soldier poems. I focus on the toy's complicity in a broad cultural fantasy of masculine embodiment that denies both corporeal pain and maturation.
