| Description: |
What does it mean to be a man? to be manly? The Image of Man examines the manly stereotype, which stresses courage, moral restraint, and athletic comportment, which from the 18th century onwards became representative of normative modern society. The important role of women and the so called `unmanly men' from Jews to homosexuals in maintaining the stereotype are also examined, as well as the possible erosion of the stereotype in our own time. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first historical account of the masculine stereotype as it evolved in modern Western culture. It shows how 20th-century fascism gave the manly ideal its extreme expression - in mass rallies that glorified the storm trooper while attacking such 'unmanly men' as Jews and homosexuals. |
