Abstract:
"Is it really a man's world? At a time when masculinity is being challenged, this book explores the links between reading and writing, and how they have historically been associated with masculine privilege. This book explores the representation of masculinity as a literary concept in Decadent literature by Huysmans, Lorrain, Rachilde, and Mirbeau to demonstrate how the movement both appropriated and subverted patriarchal assumptions surrounding reading and writing. The author takes a broad approach towards masculinity and its discontents by uncovering unlikely pretenders to the throne - witches, dandies, and cuckolds - that destabilised its validity. By positioning the study against the backdrop of the fin-de-siècle 'crisis' of masculinity, the book undermines previously held assertions about the nature of masculinity then and now, opening up fresh ground for the appraisal and analysis of gender in French studies and beyond"--
