8vo. ix, 316 pp. Figs., index. Red gilt-stamped cloth, dust-jacket. Near fine. In this study of upper-class masculinity from the end of the ancien r gime in 1789 to the end of World War I, Robert Nye argues that manhood, masculinity, and male sexuality is, like femininity, a cultural construct, comprising a strict set of heroic ideals and codes of honor which few men have been able to realize in practice. In doing so, Nye destabilizes and historicizes the male body, and incorporates gender into the brand of cultural history inaugurated by Norbert Elias in the 1930s. pub. Robert Nye teaches at Oregon State University, offering courses in European Intellectual History and The History of Sexuality. His research interests are in the history of the social sciences, medicine and society, and sexuality, particularly in France and Western Europe. ISBN 10: 0195046498
