Reviews
“Milne explores masculinity with admirable nuance and empathy. Rather than relying on generic, predictable frameworks, this book provides a meticulous guided tour of the situations where masculinity mattered most in this particular time, place, and profession.” Isaac Land, Indiana State University “Making Men in the Age of Sail is a complex and enlightening achievement which clearly reflects the finely-honed skills of a long career in history writing. Milne succeeds in uncovering the tensions and paradoxes of the self representation of a masculine standard. He also reveals some of the implications of this cultural representation for broader questions of gender, emotion, class, race, nation, workforce, and modernity. This is an evocatively and sympathetically written account which makes the merchant seafaring community come alive.” The Great Circle, Australian National Maritime Museum
