Excerpt from The Sea, the Railway Journey: And Other Poems IT is not likely that many strangers will peruse this unpretending volume; and it is not necessary for me to inform my personal friends, who will constitute its principal readers, that I have not given my chief time or best mental vigour to the composition of Poetry. It has been the recreation of my days of sickness or hours of leisure, while the energies of my mind and the prime of my working hours have been consecrated to the more solemn and important labours of the Christian Ministry in a beloved Parish.

This collection of essays looks at everyday heroes and heroines--ordinary men, women, and children who are honored for actual or imagined feats. Comparing the United States, Germany, and Britain, it asks both when this particular hero type first emerged and how it was discussed and depicted in political discourse, mass media, literature, film, and other forms of popular culture. Looking across fields of study, countries, and centuries, this book sheds new light on the many social, cultural, and political functions that our everyday heroes have served.
