This fully illustrated study examines the construction of
masculinity in culture based on an analysis of pictorial
representations of the male in a wide range of contexts: social,
historical, legal, literary, institutional, anthropological,
educational, marital, imperial and aesthetic. Powerful images from
the work of dozens of Victorian artists - from Leighton,
Waterhouse, Burne-Jones and Alma-Tadema to Dicksee, Pettie, Watts,
Woodville and Tuke to name a few - are used to illustrate the 5 key
paradigms of masculinity: the classical hero, the gallant knight,
the challenged paterfamilias, the valiant soldier and the male
nude. Aspects of 20th-century theory such as rescue compulsion,
male sexuality, the male gaze and racial ideas are also considered.
The author concludes that maleness was, and is, learned and
19th-century ideas still influence the construction of manhood
today; that social institutions are influenced by, and themselves
use, artistic representation; that artistic images strongly
influence ideas of gender; and that multi-disciplinary cultural
study is the best way to examine the formation of gender
ideologies.
