Abstract

The contributors to this volume interpret various facets of masculinity, including many forms of sexuality and eroticism, institutional structures such as boys' public schools, and class formations and divisions. The authors demonstrate how the various constructions of same-sex desire in nineteenth-century Britain function with ambivalence and antagonism. Illustrated.
