- Summary:
- How has the meaning of manhood changed over time? In A History of Virility, an international group of scholars traces the sociohistorical evolution of virility, as opposed to masculinity, to unsettle popular accounts of politics and culture. A major contribution to the nascent field of masculinity studies, this history considers painting, sculpture, literature, film, and philosophy to expand our knowledge of fascism, nationalism, liberalism, classicism, and colonialism. With the modern world delivering one blow after another to hegemonic virility, this book also explores where manliness might be headed next. Book jacket.
