Using diverse textual, visual and material culture sources, it shows that masculinities were produced and disseminated through men’s bodies –often working-class ones – and the emotions and material culture associated with them. The book analyses idealised men who stimulated desire and admiration, including virile boxers, soldiers, sailors and blacksmiths, brave firemen and noble industrial workers. It also investigates unmanly men, such as drunkards, wife-beaters and masturbators, who elicited disgust and aversion. Unusually, \u003ci\u003eManliness in Britain\u003c\/i\u003e runs from the eras of feeling, revolution and reform to those of militarism, imperialism, representative democracy and mass media, periods often dealt with separately by historians of masculinities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Joanne Begiato’s \u003ci\u003eManliness in Britain, 1760–1900\u003c\/i\u003e breaks new ground in exploring manliness in Britain as an expansive body of gendered meanings that was most fully elaborated by representatives of the middle class but was also deeply resonant with the working class. [...] Overall, this is a virtuoso deployment of three interlinked strands in the new cultural history: the somatic, the material, and the emotional. That conceptual range has made possible a book on manliness unrivaled in its contextual range and its interpretive insights.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJournal of British Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking manliness manifest: an introduction\u003cbr\u003e1 Figures, faces, and desire: male bodies and manliness\u003cbr\u003e2 Appetites, passions, and disgust: the penalties and paradoxes of unmanliness \u003cbr\u003e3 Hearts of oak: martial manliness and material culture\u003cbr\u003e4 Homeward bound: manliness and the home\u003cbr\u003e5 Brawn and bravery: glorifying the working body\u003cbr\u003eThe measure of a man: an epilogue\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041029030231,"sku":"9781526163639","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526163639.jpg?v=1750948668","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/manliness-in-britain-1760-1900-bodies-emotion-and-material-culture-9781526163639","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
