Description

This scholarly work explores masculinity and social transformation in eighteenth-century Britain, examining how the rise of polite society reshaped notions of manliness and gentlemanly conduct from the 1660s onwards. Drawing on continental ideas of refinement, the book traces how diverse writers promoted politeness as a social ideal emphasising genuine sociability, urbane sophistication and tolerance. Early eighteenth-century commentators encouraged men to embody these characteristics through refined town manners, whilst later thinkers offered alternative visions of masculine identity. Part of the Women and Men in History series, this work provides essential historical context for understanding gender norms, social codes and cultural shifts that defined the period. Ideal for students and scholars of social history, cultural studies and the history of masculinity.
