This collection explores the evolution of notions about masculinity
during the intense crisis of Renaissance and early modern France.
Authors of the period reflect the anxieties about masculinity that
became more pronounced against the backdrop of major events and
innovations of the period: the religious conflict in France, the
repeated questioning of religious and royal authority, the revival
of Greek scepticism, the discovery of the New World, and the rise
of clinical medicine. These events in turn fuelled growing doubt
concerning the fixed and hierarchical nature of gender distinction;
a distinction upon which many felt French culture was dependent for
its very survival.
