Product Description

Synopsis
This title presents a critical reinterpretation of masculinity and the male body in the Western world since 1700.This title provides broad historical coverage of masculinity across the West. It offers unique conceptual focus on the tensions between modernity and the body. It provides a historical intervention into current debates about a 'crisis' of masculinity.What does it mean to be a man? to be manly? How has this changed throughout history? This text examines the manly stereotype, which stresses courage and athletic comportment, which from the 18th century onwards became representative of normative modern society.
