Description

A Genealogy of the Gentleman examines how eighteenth-century women writers influenced modern ideals of masculinity and authorship. Part of the Early Modern Feminisms series, this scholarly work by University of Delaware Press analyzes the narrative constructions used by women to shape the concept of the gentleman. The text challenges the idea that masculinity is a private, normative concept that exists apart from performance. It also contests the assumption that women writers, working within a patriarchal society, lacked the power to impact dominant masculine structures. Through the study of writers like Mary Davys, Eliza Haywood, and Charlotte Lennox, this book provides a deep look at how female authorship helped define gender roles in the eighteenth century.
