- This is a co-authored research monograph and is a longer-form book totalling 400 pages – over 170K words. It was the main output of an AHRC-funded project 2013/15 which built on a pilot oral history study funded by the Scottish Oral History Centre in 2008/9 (Pattinson was PI, Robb was Research Assistant on the project). It is based on 64 newly conducted oral history interviews, plus archived interviews with 17 others, as well as memoirs, poems, Mass Observation File Reports, posters, artwork, House of Commons debates, minutes, annual reports, diaries, film, radio and television programmes, newspapers and novels. L. Robb conducted all the interviews and undertook the archival research. Pattinson was project lead and lead author. The book is a theoretical discussion of masculinity blended with much empirical research. Pattinson was lead author and was sole author of the Introduction chapter (19K), the first chapter (19K) and the conclusion (2K). Pattinson also co-wrote chapter 7 and wrote sections of chapter 6. This account for about 30% of the text included in this monograph. She also ensured that the book read with one authorial voice despite being written by three people and undertook rewriting/editing of chapters written by her two colleagues (L. Robb and A. McIvor).
