- This monograph is the first book-length study to investigate a comprehensive corpus of 21 contemporary narratives in English and German of eating disorders in men, a topic concerning a hard-to-reach group that is currently under researched. It is based on collaborative interdisciplinary research conducted over the last five years. It combines literary scholarship on gender and masculinity studies, and a new analysis of autobiographical writing and research into the emerging genre of illness narratives, with a review of recent clinical research into eating disorders in males, and interviews with patients, general practitioners and carers. 184pp.
