{"product_id":"dandies-and-desert-saints-james-eli-adams-9780801430176","title":"Dandies and Desert Saints: Styles of Victorian Masculinity","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Choice \"Outstanding Academic Book for 1996\"While drawing on work in feminism, queer theory, and cultural history, Dandies and Desert Saints challenges scholars to rethink simplistic notions of Victorian manhood. James Eli Adams examines masculine identity in Victorian literature from Thomas Carlyle through Oscar Wilde, analyzing authors who identify the age's ideal of manhood as the power of self-discipline. What distinguishes Adams's book from others in the recent explosion of interest in masculinity is his refusal to approach masculinity primarily in terms of \"patriarchy\" or \"phallogocentrism\" or within the binary of homosexualities and heterosexualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Eli Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801430178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801430176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"James Eli Adams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086866034943,"sku":"9780801430176","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb24eb63-0313-40ac-9c99-2a4e42efbcab.jpg?v=1769097033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dandies-and-desert-saints-james-eli-adams-9780801430176","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
