From the Delivered to the Dispatched: Masculinity in Modern American Fiction (1969-1977) focuses on masculinity in late twentieth-century American fiction. This rigorous study shows the ways post-war American authors engage with the tension between capitalist consumer culture and traditional national conceptions of American manhood. Drawing on examples from the works of prolific contemporary American writers, Cormac McCarthy, Toni Morrison and Michael Herr, Stilley investigates hypermasculine male violence, the classical and grotesque body, as well as specific regional themes such as the Western frontier, the American Adam, the Southern Gothic and the Suburban Gothic.
Harriet Stilley teaches American Literature at the University of Edinburgh. Her research interests focus on masculinity in late twentieth-century American fiction. Harriet’s work has been published in a number of American, British and European journals, including the Cormac McCarthy Journal, the Journal of American Studies, the European Journal of American Studies, and the European Journal of American Culture.
