Popular culture in the latter half of the twentieth century
precipitated a decisive change in style and body image. Postwar
film, television, radio shows, pulp fiction and comics placed
heroic types firmly within public consciousness. This book
concentrates on these heroic male types as they have evolved from
the postwar era and their relationship to fashion to the present
day. As well as demonstrating the role of male icons in
contemporary society, this book's originality also lies in showing
the many gender slippages that these icons help to effect or
expose. It is by exploring the somewhat inviolate types accorded to
contemporary masculinity that we see the very fragility of a stable
or rounded male identity.
