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.

Recenzii

“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.”
 
"[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."
“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.”
“Jane Austen and Masculinity is a welcome addition to the significant body of work on Austen and gender.”
"A seminal and groundbreaking body of exceptional research. . . .Jane Austen and Masculinity is especially and unreservedly recommended for community, college, and university library 18th Century Literary Criticism collections in general, and supplemental Jane Austen curriculum studies lists in particular."
