Pope, Homer, and Manliness (eBook, ePUB)

Some Aspects of Eighteenth Century Classical Learning

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book reassesses the concept of 'masculinity', and argues that it cannot be seen as an absolute standard, but only as the product of perpetual conflict between competing and unstable models. The author commands a knowledge of classical and early modern literature which has rarely been brought to bear on gender studies. First published in 1993, it remains a valuable contribution to debates concerning the reception of the Classical tradition.
