Using the works of these six authors as case studies, Leading with the Chin argues that Esquire permitted writers to confront national fantasies of American masculinity as they were impacted by the rise of neoliberalism, civil rights and gay rights, and the cultural dominance of the professional-managerial class. Applying the methodologies of periodical studies and the theoretical concerns of masculinity studies, this book recontextualizes the prose and fiction of these authors by analyzing them in the material context of the magazine. Relating each author's articulation of masculinity to the advertisements, editorials, and articles published in each issue, Leading with the Chin shows that Esquire reflected and helped to shape the forces that structured American masculinity in the twentieth century. 630 00 $a Esquire. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Masculinity in literature. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Masculinity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011040 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120034148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95F754C0462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
