Effeminate Years

Literature, Politics, and Aesthetics in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Britain

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the development of modern ideas of masculinity and the political subject back to the Enlightenment period in Britain to show how the very concept of political agency was shaped by anti-effeminate ideas and beliefs. This study queers our understanding of the political subject, which is still the basis for debate and argument.
