British Masculinity in the 'Gentlemans Magazine', 1731 to 1815 Reviews

Gillian Williamsons fascinating book offers a sustained and detailed study of the Magazines readership and its changing ideas of the gentleman, from its foundation by Edward Cave in 1731 to the aftermath of Waterloo in 1815. the Gentlemans Magazine had been an aspirational publication for the middling sort, in which readers from the mercantile and professional classes fashioned the figure of the gentleman in their own image. (Caroline Gonda, The BARS Review, Issue 49, 2017)
