Ideal for students studying nineteenth-century social history, women's studies/men's studies, cultural studies, as well as those pursuing the history of the family and the history of the British Empire Written with exceptional lucidity Combines vivid historical re-creation with a clear explanation of the conceptual aspects of the subject Tosh is a well-known and respected historian - his book "The Pursuit of History" (Longman) has had lifetime sales of over 79,000 copies, and his edited collection "Historians on History "(Longman) has sold over 6,300 copies in its first edition.
In the space of barely fifteen years, the history of masculinity has become an important dimension of social and cultural history. Manliness and Masculinities brings together nine key articles John Tosh has written over the past ten years that use the theme of masculinity to bring a fresh perspective to the social history of the nineteenth century. These pieces document the aspirations of the first contributors to the field, and the development of an agenda of key historical issues that have become central to our conceptualising of gender in history. This text is for undergraduate courses in nineteenth century history, Imperial history and the history of gender.
