Spanning the entire corpus of the Sagas of Icelanders-and taking into account a number of little-studied sagas as well as the more well-known works-it comprehensively interrogates the construction, operation, and problematization of masculinities in this genre. 0'Men and Masculinities in the Sagas of Icelanders' elucidates the dominant model of masculinity that operates in the sagas, demonstrates how masculinities and masculine characters function within these texts, and investigates the means by which the sagas, and saga characters, may subvert masculine dominance. Combining close literary analysis with insights drawn from sociological theories of hegemonic and subordinated masculinities, notions of homosociality and performative gender, and psychoanalytic frameworks, the book brings to men and masculinities in saga literature the same scrutiny traditionally brought to the study of women and femininities. Ultimately, the volume demonstrates that masculinity is not simply glorified in the sagas, but is represented as being both inherently fragile and a burden to all characters, masculine and non-masculine alike. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 149-161) and index. 650 0 $a Sagas $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111140 650 0 $a Masculinity in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94006169 650 7 $a Masculinity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011040 650 7 $a Sagas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01103425 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Oxford English monographs. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42018398 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021109.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C34A3B7C1E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
