- Description
- The essays collected in this bolume examine representations of masculinity in post-war and contemporary British literature, focussing on the works of writers as John Osborne, Joe Orton, James Kelman, Graham Swift, Ian Rankin, Carol Ann Duffy, Alan Hollinghurst, Ian McEwan and Jackie Kay. The contributors seek to capture the current historical moment of 'crisis', at which masculinity loses its universal transparency and becomes visible as a performative gender construct. As the contributors demonstrate, millennial manhood is a gender 'in transition'. Patriarchal strategies of man-making are gradually being replaced by less exclusionary patterns of self-identification inspired by feminism.

- Description
- Challenging the assumption that early modern comic culture was created by men for men, Brown shows that jest books, plays, and ballads represented women as laugh-getters and sought out the laughter of ordinary women. Disputing the claim that non-elite women had little access to popular culture because of their low literacy and social marginality, Brown shows that women often bested all corners in the arenas of jesting.

- Description
- This collection of twelve essays on Jewish women writers and British culture refer to both women's studies and Jewish studies. A variety of British women writers were brought together and considered through the lens of their Jewish background. The result is to reveal unsuspected connections between authors as diverse as the cross-dressing actress Naomi Jacob and the former professor of art history at the Courtauld, Anita Brookner, between the Anglo-American poets Denise Levertov and Mirna Loy, the Welsh zionist novelist, Lily Tobias, and the Israeli children's writer, Lynne Reid Banks: between the translator, Elaine Feinstein, the cellist, Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, and the dramatist Diane Samuels. Jewish women writers in Britain such as Bernice Rubens, Linda Grant, and Ellen Galford have distinguished themselves, writing about the family, Israeli wars, and lesbian relations in highly individual ways. As women, the authors discussed here deal with women's issues such as marriage, motherhood, sisterhood, and female relationships. However, these are refracted through a common Jewish concern with anti-Semitism, with the Holocaust, and with remembering the collective past. Like female Jewish authors in America, they also debate the attractions and disadvantages of Jewish family life. What distinguishes British writers is the ambivalent attitudes they display toward 'Englishness' and dominant British culture.

The book discusses orientalism, the figure of the odalisque, the zenana or women's secluded inner quarters, the veil and the harem.
