That men repress their feelings as they seek their fortunes in the competitive worlds of business and politics seems to be a given. This collection of essays by prominent literary and cultural critics rethinks such commonly held views by addressing the history and politics of emotion in prevailing narratives about masculinity. How did the story of the emotionally stifled U.S. male come into being? What are its political stakes? 606 $aAmerican literature -- History and criticism 606 $aEmotions in literature 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aMen -- Psychology 606 $aMen -- United States -- Attitudes 606 $aMen in literature 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 4$aAmerican literature -- History and criticism. 615 4$aEmotions in literature. 615 4$aMasculinity in literature. 615 4$aMen -- Psychology. 615 4$aMen -- United States -- Attitudes. 615 4$aMen in literature. 615 4$aNarration (Rhetoric). 676 $a810.9/352041 676 $a810.9352041 700 $aShamir$b Milette$01550550 701 $aTravis$b Jennifer$01561144 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785964103321 996 $aBoys Don't Cry$93827635 997 $aUNINA
