This book explores how women writers create and question men and
masculinity. As men have written women so have women written men.
Debate about how men have represented women in literature has a
long and distinguished history; however, there has been much less
examination of the ways in which women writers depict male
characters. This is clearly a notable absence given the recent rise
in interest in the field of 18th- and 19th-century masculinities.
Women writers were in a unique position to be able to deconstruct
and examine cultural norms from a position away from the centre.
This enabled women to 'look aslant' at masculinity using their
female gaze to expose the ruptures and cracks inherent within the
rigid formation of the manly ideal. This collection focuses on
women's representations of men and masculinity as they negotiate
issues of class, gender, race, and sexuality. Women Writing Men:
1689 to 1869 will be of interest to academics, researchers, and
advanced students of Literature, Gender Studies, Critical Theory,
and Cultural Studies. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Women's Writing.
