Masculine assertions, whether of verbal command, political power or physical violence, have formed the traditional subject matter of history. This volume combines current discussions in sexual politics with historical analysis to demonstrate that, far from being natural and monolithic, masculinity is an historical and cultural construct, with varied, competing and above all changing forms.
Michael Roper recently completed his Ph.D. at Essex University on masculinity and the evolution of British management since 1945. He has published in Life Stories and the Journal of Australian Studies, and he is a Research Fellow at the London Business School. John Tosh teaches history at the Polytechnic of North London. In 1987-8 he was Visiting Associate Professor at the University of California, Davis.
