Masculine Self in Late Medieval England

Zusammenfassung Examines the social and cultural significance of masculinity during the generations born between the Black Death and Protestant Reformation. This title discovers that social relations between men, founded on the ideals of honesty and self-restraint, were at least as important as their domination and control of women in defining their identities.
