| Description: |
A cultural history of macho criticism |
| Synopsis: |
From the author:There is one last issue that needs to be sorted out: I noticed the product description on Amazon has one error. The following sentence from the product description needs to be eliminated: "He examines the macho criticism that originated in the 1930s within the high modernist New York intellectual circle..." The reference to the "high modernist New York intellectual circle" is not accurate. It needs to be revised. Here is my revised version. Please enter the following new product description: "Pinks, Pansies, and Punks" charts the construction of masculinity within American literary culture from the 1930s to the 1970s. Penner documents the emergence of "macho criticism," and explores how debates about "hard" and "soft" masculinity influenced the class struggles of the 1930s, anti-communism in the 1940s and 1950s, and the clash between the Old Left and the New Left in the 1960s. By extending literary culture to include not just novels, plays, and poetry, but diaries, journals, manifestos, screenplays, and essays on psychology and sociology, Penner unveils the multiplicity of gender attitudes that emerge in each of the decades he addresses. |
