He also accomplished other writing feats, including penning George Washington's biography and other life stories. Throughout his life, Irving was at odds with socially-approved ways of "being a man." Irving purportedly saw himself and was seen by others as feminine, shy, and non-confrontational. Likely related to this, he chose to engage with other men's fortunes and adventures by writing, defining his male identity vicariously, through masculine archetypes both fictional and non-fictional. Sitting at the intersection of literary studies and masculinity studies, this reading reconstructs Irving's life-long struggle to somehow win a place among other men. Readers will recognize masculine themes in his tales from the Spanish period, his western adventures, as well as in historical biographies of Columbus, Mahomet, and Washington. In many writings by Irving, especially The Legend of Sleepy Hallow, readers will observe themes dominated by masculinity. The book is the first of its kind to encompass and examine Irving's writings"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 263 - 266) and index. 505 0 $a Anima Consciousness and Archetypal Masculinities -- "Because it was fun": Whimsicality, Gentility, and the Loss of Communal Manhood -- Rip Van Winkle, Ichabod Crane, and Other Troubled Masculinities -- "Dear Old Romantic Spain": Purloined Heroes -- On the Prairies and in the West: Manhood Wrapped in the Nation's Flag -- Life of George Washington: Manly Perfection in the Father of His Country. 600 10 $a Irving, Washington, $d 1783-1859 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Irving, Washington, $d 1783-1859. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00030025 650 0 $a Archetype (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Masculinity in literature. 650 7 $a Archetype (Psychology) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00813069 650 7 $a Masculinity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011040 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020742.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F17E44481DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
