I would like to make one final argument in this chapter. I want to finish this book with a discussion of the relationship between gender and identity, but before I do this, however, I would like to make a brief review of the arguments in the book. It is not so much intended as a thorough review of all the arguments I have made so far, but as a pointer to their most important aspects.

This book addresses the ways in which masculinity is negotiated, constructed, represented, and problematized within operatic music and practice. Although the consideration of masculine ontology and epistemology has pervaded cultural and sociological studies since the late 1980s, and masculinity has been the focus of recent if sporadic musicological discussion, the relationship between masculinity and opera has so far escaped detailed critical scrutiny. Operating from a position of sympathy with

Abstract In 2000 Christina Hoff Sommers lamented male suffering in The War against Boys locating its roots in the feminization process unfolding in public schools which disparaged the value of manhood and male roles in society. In the following year, Jane Fonda donated $12.5 million of her personal fortune toward the establishment of a Center for Gender and Education at Harvard University hoping to begin the academic process of helping America's boys to resist the cultural dissonance they were experiencing because they could not cope with or live up to the expectations of the traditional male role. Whether or not one agrees with the ideology underlying these examples, it is clear that these are popular expressions of what is known as “sex role” theory commonly used by sociologists and psychologists to explain gender differences between men and women. Furthermore, the focus on men implies that masculinity long conflated with the abstract individual is coming to the fore as a category needing analysis. Masculinity as a problem to be studied has energized a field of scholarship variously referred to as the critical studies and/or new sociology of masculinity.

Introduction When historians make use of the term “masculinity,” they usually refer to a set of ideas, expectations, norms, ideals, and practices that are related to being a man in a given context. Like “femininity,” “masculinity” is a concept that is part of the instrumentarium of “gender history”

Many masculinities are represented in southern literature, from the gentlemanly Ashley Wilkes of Gone with the Wind (1936) and Faulkner’s well-educated humanist Gavin Stevens to the crude, violent men of “rough south” novels, such as Lester Ballard in Cormac McCarthy’s Child of God (1973) and Wade Jones in Larry Brown’s Joe (1991). In between these polarities exist a range of characters representing qualities associated with “manhood.” A survey of texts reveals patterns of character types that demonstrate the spectrum of masculinity in southern letters.

The question of masculinity lies at the heart of masterpieces of Renaissance art, philosophy, and literature. Proscriptive and prescriptive literature formed a discourse of ideal fathers, priests, courtiers, and warriors, and these ideals were then reified in fictional texts as well as in pigment and marble. Such textual and artistic ideals of masculinity were by nature not obtainable by real men, a matter that was the cause of a gender anxiety that has received much scholarly attention. Furthermore, masculinity in the Renaissance was frequently discussed in contrast to its negative effect, effeminacy. For example, the development of the civilized man, tempering emotion and demonstrating politeness, was also at risk of being condemned as effeminate. In this case, men would have been slandered for their concern with decorum rather than action. In other instances, the censure of effeminacy was used in contexts quite far from our own modern understandings of the term. For example, the term was often directed toward men who exhibited extraordinary heterosexual desire. Thus, to study masculinity in the Renaissance is to consider historical context as well as rhetorical modes. It is a field that comprises the investigation of the characteristics of manhood as well as the language that condemned effeminacy. There is a general consensus that Renaissance masculinity studies owe their beginnings to feminist scholarship of the past several decades. It is also notable that Renaissance scholars working on masculinity often do not exhibit much affinity with the larger academic field of so-called Masculinity Studies, possibly because of the latter’s propensity to consider only modern questions. Because Renaissance investigations of masculinity typically address the same topics that one would expect in any critical analysis of the period (war, honor, economics, love, sexuality, religion, etc.), it is necessary to determine a working definition of what is included in this bibliography. In sum, this bibliography seeks to indicate publications that address any discourse that arises when one considers “men” in the Renaissance and that engage such discourses with particular questions regarding gender formation. Primary works have not been listed, except when part of anthologized readers. However, those seeking a reader for primary sources might note that the secondary literature does point to an unwritten canon in literary, visual, and material cultures.

The psychological, physical, sexual, and social qualities and conditions accorded to Jesus, consciously or otherwise, are attributed to him as a member of the male sex. As such, the representation of Jesus as a human being in relationship with others is always gendered: Jesus’ masculinity is configu
