Pope, Homer, and Manliness

- Some Aspects of Eighteenth Century Classical Learning

About Pope, Homer, and Manliness

This book reassesses the concept of `masculinity¿, and argues that it cannot be seen as an absolute standard, but only as the product of perpetual conflict between competing and unstable models. The author commands a knowledge of classical and early modern literature which has rarely been brought to bear on gender studies. First published in 1993, it remains a valuable contribution to debates concerning the reception of the Classical tradition.
