- This monograph offers a new account of masculinity in the long nineteenth century: more corporeal and material, more emotional, more cross-class, and less heteronormative than other studies. Using a large body of diverse textual, visual, and material culture sources, it offers new critical insights which show that masculinities were produced and disseminated through men’s bodies, very often working-class ones, and the emotions and material culture associated with them. Unusually, it also considers the role of desire in the construction and dissemination of masculinities and breaks with conventional chronologies of masculinity to focus on the ways in which contemporaries measured manliness.
