Russian Masculinities in History and Culture
by Barbara Evans Clements (Editor), Rebecca Friedman (Editor), Dan Healey
(Editor)
Book Description
Peasant patriarchs, aristocratic dandies, anxious bureaucrats, workers
seeking father-figures, and promiscuous bathhouse attendants populate this
book. Its essays examine how ideals of manliness intersected with historical
developments, the formation of national identities, and changing definitions
of intimacy. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of
gender theory and Russian theory alike.
