Far from desiring heterosexual sex and wishing to bond with other men through fraternity, the male protagonists of classic American literature mainly want to be left alone. Greven makes the claim that American men, eschewing both marriage and male friendship, strive to remain emotionally and sexually inviolate. Examining the work of traditional authors - Hawthorne, Poe, Melville, Cooper, Irving, Stowe - Greven discovers highly untraditional and transgressive representations of desire and sexuality. Objects of desire from both women and other men, the inviolate males discussed in this study overturn established gendered and sexual categories, just as this study overturns archetypal assumptions about American manhood and American literature. 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aSex 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aLiterary History 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a810.9/353 700 $aGreven$b David$01168107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960824403321 996 $aMen Beyond Desire$94329829 997 $aUNINA
