Description

Book Synopsis
Examines the social and cultural significance of masculinity during the generations born between the Black Death and Protestant Reformation. This title discovers that social relations between men, founded on the ideals of honesty and self-restraint, were at least as important as their domination and control of women in defining their identities.

Trade Review
"A splendid study of the complexities of being a man in late medieval England. Neal's vision of masculine subjectivity and identity is by far the most sophisticated, nuanced, and deep available on this period and will find a place on the must-read list of every historian of men and masculinity as well as sex and gender more broadly." - Jacqueline Murray, University of Guelph"
