Book Synopsis
Explores British cinematic representations of masculinity.

Trade Review
"With this analysis of masculinity in British cinema at the turn of the century, Godfrey is both wide ranging and sharply focused, considering the representations of British men from lad culture to the margins, and in relation to fatherhood, class, race and violence. Godfrey goes deep into meaningful filmic examples, setting them at the intersections of neoliberalism and postfeminism, and within the industrial context of British cinema in a particularly fruitful period when it challenged and reinvented masculine archetypes.? This feminist intervention is a compelling analysis of British men in postfeminist movies, and a significant contribution to the understanding of contemporary discourses of intersectional masculinity." -Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary University of London
