Description

These essays add a unique perspective to studies that reconstruct the identity of manhood in early modern Europe, including France, Switzerland, Spain, and Germany. The authors examine the ways in which sixteenth and seventeenth-century authorities, both secular and religious, laboured to turn boys and men into the Christian males they desired. Topics include disparities among gender paradigms that early modern models prescribed and the tension between the patriarchal model and the civic duties that men were expected to fulfil. Essays about Martin Luther, a prolific self-witness, look into the marriage relationship with its expected and actual gender roles.
