Reviews
"“Jane Austen and Masculinity offers us new ways to understand the deep significance and complex meanings of Austen’s men. We’ve spent so much energy assessing Mr. Darcy’s hot-or-not-ness that we’ve rarely sought to understand how he fits into a more extensive consideration of Austenian manhood. This book’s essays consider a wide range of subjects, from heroes and fathers, to whiners and melancholics, to duels and music. Its contents draw us into historical and contemporary debates about Austen, gender, and masculinity. Editor Michael Kramp has given us a timely, compelling book on a surprisingly neglected subject.” —Devoney Looser, author of The Making of Jane Austen -- Devoney Looser * author of The Making of Jane Austen * ""[Jane Austen and Masculinity] provides a comprehensive, helpful overview both of the emergence of masculinity studies as a field and also of existing scholarship on Austen’s depictions of men."" * European Romantic Review * “The essays brought together here provide a suitably kaleidoscopic view of maleness, both in Austen’s own works and in the reformulations and extensions of those works critically, cinematically, and fictionally. . . . As a whole . . . this book provides thoughtful variety in its views of men and masculinity associated with Austen’s novels, all the richer for its broader considerations of contexts and aftereffects of Austen’s men.” * Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer * “Jane Austen and Masculinity is a welcome addition to the significant body of work on Austen and gender.” * Eighteenth-Century Fiction *"
