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. 517 3 $aBachelors, Manhood, & the Novel, 1850-1925 606 $aAmerican fiction$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBachelors in literature 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aFirst person narrative 606 $aMen in literature 607 $aEnglish-speaking countries$xIntellectual life$y19th century 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBachelors in literature. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 615 0$aFirst person narrative. 615 0$aMen in literature. 676 $a813/.409352041 700 $aSnyder$b Katherine V.$01041462 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455359903321 996 $aBachelors, manhood, and the novel, 1850-1925$92464978 997 $aUNINA
