The power and status of English male elites were not merely
inherited at birth but developed through everyday interactions with
family, peers and guardians. Much of these conversations were
conducted through correspondence. In this fascinating Sourcebook,
Mark Rothery and Henry French present a unique collection of
letters which together trace this construction of gender and social
identities. The Formation of Male Elite Identities in England,
c.1660-1900: - Reveals the lifelong process of shaping and managing
manliness via a range of social agents - Illustrates continuities
and changes in the values associated with the landed gentry over
the course of the period, and within the male lifecycle - Charts
the process from school and university, through to experiences of
travel, courtship, marriage and work - Provides a detailed
Introduction to the letters, editorial guidance throughout,
questions to stimulate discussion, and helpful suggestions for
further reading
