Secure TransactionBook Description
This is an important monograph in the field of men's history. . . . This is ambitious conceptualization--the book is a refreshingly bold statement. . . . I find most of its conclusions accurate.--Peter N. Stearns, Journal of Ritual Studies
The breadth and thoroughness of this book is impressive. Carnes draws on the literature of the time, religious history and theology, child rearing and developmental psychology, women's history and gender studies, and structural and cultural anthropology.--Rosamund Orde-Powlett, Literary Review
