Scotland, with its stereotypes of the kilted warrior and the
industrial 'hard man' has long been characterised in masculine
terms, but there has been little historical exploration of what
masculinity actually means for men (and women) in a Scottish
context. This interdisciplinary collection explores a diverse range
of the multiple and changing forms of masculinities from the late
eleventh to the late twentieth century, examining the ways in which
Scottish society through the ages defined expectations for men and
their behaviour. How men reacted to those expectations is examined
through sources such as documentary materials, medieval seals,
romance, poetry, begging letters, police reports and court records,
charity records, oral histories and personal correspondence.
Focusing upon the wide range of activities and roles undertaken by
men -- work, fatherhood and play, violence and war, sex and
commerce -- the book also illustrates the range of masculinities
which affected or were internalised by men. Together, they
illustrate some of the ways Scotland's gender expectations have
changed over the centuries and how more generally masculinities
have informed the path of Scottish history.
