Snyder demonstrates that bachelors functioned in cultural and literary discourse as threshold figures who, by crossing the shifting, permeable boundaries of bourgeois domesticity, highlighted the limits of conventional masculinity. The very marginality of the figure, Snyder argues, effects a critique of gendered norms of manhood, while the symbolic function of marriage as a means of plot resolution is also made more complex by the presence of the single man. Bachelor figures made, moreover, an ideal narrative device for male authors who themselves occupied vexed cultural positions. By attending to the gendered identities and relations at issue in these narratives, Snyder's study discloses the aesthetic and political underpinnings of the traditional canon of English and American male modernism.Bachelors, Manhood, & the Novel, 1850-1925American fictionMale authorsHistory and criticismBachelors in literatureAmerican fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish fictionMale authorsHistory and criticismMasculinity in literatureFirst person narrativeMen in literatureEnglish-speaking countriesIntellectual life19th centuryAmerican fictionMale authorsHistory and criticism.Bachelors in literature.American fictionHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.English fictionMale authorsHistory and criticism.Masculinity in literature.First person narrative.Men in literature.813/.409352041Snyder Katherine V.1041462UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910455359903321Bachelors, manhood, and the novel, 1850-19252464978UNINA
