Demonstrative family men : masculinity and sentiment in works by Shakespeare, Lanyer, Cary, Donne, Walton, and Garrick.The first full length treatment of how men of different professions, social ranks and ages are empowered by their emotional expressiveness in early modern English literary works, this study examines the profound impact of the cultural shift in the English aristocracy from feudal warriors to emotionally expressive courtiers or gentlemen on all kinds of men in early modern English literature. Jennifer Vaught bases her analysis on the epic, lyric, and romance as well as on drama, pastoral writings and biography, by Shakespeare, Spenser, Sidney, Marlowe, Jonson and Garrick among other writers. Offering new readings of these works, she traces the gradual emergence of men of feeling during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to the blossoming of this literary version of manhood during the eighteenth century.Women and gender in the early modern world.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismMasculinity in literatureEmotions in literatureMen in literatureMenPsychologyHistory16th centuryMenPsychologyHistory17th centuryMasculinityHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Masculinity in literature.Emotions in literature.Men in literature.MenPsychologyHistoryMenPsychologyHistoryMasculinityHistory.820.9353Vaught Jennifer C.936905MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154610803321Masculinity and emotion in early modern English literature2110158UNINA
