Tosh - Manliness and masculinities in nineteenth-century Britain: essays on gender, family, and empire

Manliness and Masculinities Nineteenth-Century Britain

WOMEN AND MEN IN HISTORY

This series, published for students, scholars and interested general readers, will tackle themes in gender history from the early medieval period through to the present day. Gender issues are now an integral part of all history courses and yet many traditional texts do not reflect this change. Much exciting work is now being done to redress the gender imbalances of the past, and we hope that these books will make their own substantial contribution to that process. We hope that these will both synthesise and shape future developments in gender studies.

The General Editors of the series are Patricia Skinner (University of Southampton) for the medieval period; Pamela Shrpe (University of Bristol) for the early modern period; and Penny Summerfield (University of Lancaster) for the moder n period. Margaret Watsh (University of Nottingham) was the Foundig Editor of the series.
