Genders and Sexualities in History
Palgrave Macmillan’s series, Genders and Sexualities in History, aims to accommodate and foster new approaches to historical research in the fields of genders and sexualities. The series promotes world-class scholarship that concentrates upon the interconnected themes of genders, sexualities, religions/religiosity, civil society, class formations, politics and war. Historical studies of gender and sexuality have often been treated as disconnected fields, while in recent years historical analyses in these two areas have synthesised, creating new departures in historiography. By linking genders and sexualities with questions of religion, civil society, politics and the contexts of war and conflict, this series will reflect recent developments in scholarship, moving away from the previously dominant and narrow histories of science, scientific thought, and legal processes. The result brings together scholarship from contemporary, modern, early modern, medieval, classical and non-Western history to provide a diachronic forum for scholarship that incorporates new approaches to genders and sexualities in history. What is Masculinity? Historical Dynamics from Antiquity to the Contemporary World is a groundbreaking collection of articles by scholars in Ancient History and Classics, medieval, early modern, modern, contemporary, and non-Western fields, edited by John H. Arnold and Sean Brady. The collection is a milestone in the fields of gender history and the study of masculinity. Bringing together international scholarship from across time periods, the collection is a major contribution to the study of masculinity over la longue durée. The breadth and crossperiod dialogue of the book reflects the outlook of the series Genders and Sexualities in History within which it is published. Both the collection and the series seek to create new dimensions in historiography, engendering debate between chronological specialisms, and the study of gender, sexuality, society, politics, war, religion, and culture. As with all books published in the series, What is Masculinity? draws upon original scholarship and meticulous research that is innovative in these fields. Titles include: John H.
