This path-breaking study explores the diverse and varied meanings
of manhood in early modern England and their complex, and often
contested, relationship with patriarchal principles. Using social,
political and medical commentary, alongside evidence of social
practice derived from court records, Dr Shepard argues that
patriarchal ideology contained numerous contradictions, and that,
while males were its primary beneficiaries, it was undermined and
opposed by men as well as women. Patriarchal concepts of manhood
existed in tension both with anti-patriarchal forms of resistance
and with alternative codes of manhood which were sometimes
primarily defined independently of patriarchal imperatives. As a
result the differences within each sex, as well as between them,
were intrinsic to the practice of patriarchy and the social
distribution of its dividends in early modern England.
