Description

Explore the evolution of masculinity in eighteenth century Britain with this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the Women and Men in History series, this book examines how the rise of a polite society changed traditional notions of manliness and the identity of the gentleman. Starting from the 1660s, a new standard of social behavior known as politeness began to spread through the influence of various writers. Drawing from continental ideas of refinement, these social shifts promoted sociability as a core value for a progressive and tolerant nation. The text tracks how early eighteenth century writers encouraged men to adopt these new traits by becoming urbane town gentlemen. This historical account provides a deep look into the social transformations of the era. It is an essential resource for readers interested in British history, gender studies, and the development of social norms during the 1660-1800 period.
