About this book

Public Men offers an introduction to an exciting new field: the history of masculinities in the political domain. By building upon new work on gender and political culture, these new case studies explore the gendering of the political domain and the masculinities of the men who have historically dominated it.

Reviews

'A vibrant collection revealing masculinity to be a vital and volatile variable in the formation of political identities and the public sphere. Matthew McCormack's commanding overview of the historiography of gender and politics tracks the vagaries of the 'Public Man' from the rough-and-ready world of Georgian elections to the celebrity culture of Blair's Britannia, pointing to important questions of chronology and interpretation for anyone interested in political culture and the history of masculinity.' - Helen Rogers, Liverpool John Moores University
