Abstract

The stereotype of the Victorian man as a flinty, sexually repressed patriarch belies the remarkably wide variety of male behaviors and conceptions of manhood during the mid- to late nineteenth century. A complex pattern of alternative and even competing behaviors and attitudes emerges in this collection of essays that points toward a "gendered history" of men.
