The trials of masculinity : policing sexual boundaries, 1870-1930

Author:	Angus McLaren

Series:	Chicago series on sexuality, history, and society.

Summary:	How do we define the question, "What makes a man?" and why are we compelled to define the term at all? Modern perceptions of masculinity, despite the sense of naturalness and constancy with which we view them, are in fact the idealized cultural products of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
