Documenting lived experiences of men in charge of others, this
collection creates a social and cultural history of early modern
governing masculinities. It examines the tensions between normative
discourses and lived experiences and their manifestations in a
range of different sources; and explores the insecurities,
anxieties and instability of masculine governance and the ways in
which these were expressed (or controlled) in emotional states,
language or performance. Focussing on moments of exercising power,
the collection seeks to understand the methods, strategies,
discourses or resources that men were able (or not) to employ in
order to have this power. In order to elucidate the mechanisms of
male governance the essays explore the following questions: how was
male governance demonstrated and enacted through men's (and
women's) bodies? What roles did women play in sustaining,
supporting or undermining governing masculinities? And what are the
relationship of specific spaces such as household or urban
environments to notions and practice of governance? Finally, the
collection emphasises the power of sources to articulate the ideas
of governance held by particular social groups and to obscure those
of others. Through a rich and wide range of case studies, the
collection explores what distinctions can be seen in ideas of
authoritative masculine behaviour across Protestant and Catholic
cultures, British and Continental models, from the late medieval to
the end of the eighteenth century, and between urban and national
expressions of authority.
