Description
This scholarly work examines masculinity in lesbian-themed paperback novels from the two decades following World War II, offering the first in-depth analysis of this overlooked literary tradition. The book challenges established critical assumptions about readership and positions the imagined masculinity within these novels against the broader masculinity crisis of the post-war era. By exploring couplehood as a central concern alongside sexuality, the author demonstrates how the instability of masculine identity directly undermines the stability of romantic partnerships depicted in these narratives. Thompson introduces the term heteroemulative to describe the shared struggle that both heterosexual and homosexual couples face in negotiating gender roles and relationship dynamics. This Routledge Research title contributes significantly to gender studies, LGBTQ+ literary criticism, and social history by uncovering how popular fiction both reflected and shaped cultural anxieties about masculinity, sexuality, and domestic life during a transformative historical period.
