During the early modern period in England, social expectations for
men came under extreme pressure; the armed knight went into decline
and humanism appeared. Here, original essays analyze a wide-range
of violent acts in early modern literature and culture - everything
from civic violence to chivalric combat; from verbal attacks to
masochistic suffering; from political assassination to personal
retaliation; and from brawls to battles. In so doing, they
interrogate the seemingly inevitable connection between masculinity
and aggression, placing it in a specific historical context and
showing how differences of status, ethnicity, and sexual identity
inform masculine ideals.
