Jane Austen and Masculinity

This wide-ranging collection of contemporary scholarship is the first to consider representations of men and masculinity in the work and adaptations of Jane Austen. Established and emerging Austen scholars from around the world discuss critical issues raised by her fictional treatment of masculinity, such as evolving social expectations, brothers and fathers, male lovers, soldiers and the military, queer and alternative sexualities, violence, and male devotees of Austen. Encompassing the novels, juvenilia, and popular adaptations of her work, Jane Austen and Masculinity makes an important intervention, building on established scholarship in masculinity studies and inviting further research on gender and sexuality within Austen's corpus.
