- Additional information
- This edited collection brings together cutting-edge research on British masculinities and male culture, considering the myriad ways British men experienced, understood and remembered their exploits during the Second World War, as active combatants, prisoners and as civilian workers. It stemmed from a symposium organised by J. Pattinson and L. Robb and funded by my AHRC-grant ‘Masculinities Challenged?’ and held at the Scottish Oral History Centre (SOHC) at the University of Strathclyde. The book is 214 pages long and includes 9 chapters by 8 authors (including one chapter by Pattinson and one chapter by Robb, co-editors of the volume). Pattinson co-wrote the 8,200-word Introduction with Robb (pp. 1-24) and was the sole-author of the chapter 1 (8,500 words, pp. 25-46, totalling 21 pages). Both Pattinson and Robb edited every chapter. As Robb was previously my PhD student and a lecturer, Pattinson was keen her name was first on the front-cover. The book was however a truly collaborative (50-50) undertaking.
