Masculinity in Fiction and Film

By Brian Baker

0 - Default Title
Description
This book looks at a wide range of fiction and film texts, from the 1950s to the present, in order to analyse the ways in which masculinity has been represented in popular culture in Britain and the United States.  It covers numerous genres, including spy fiction, science fiction, the Western and police thrillers.  Each chapter focuses on key forms of masculinity found in each genre, such as the 'double agent', the 'rogue cop' and the 'citizen-soldier'. Brian Baker takes a broad, contextual approach, placing a detailed discussion of key texts and issues concerning masculinity in their historical and cultural context.  Written in a clear, accessible way, it explores the changing representation of men over the last fifty years.
