Public Men Reviews

'A vibrant collection revealing masculinity to be a vital and volatile variable in the formation of political identities and the public sphere. Matthew McCormack's commanding overview of the historiography of gender and politics tracks the vagaries of the 'Public Man' from the rough-and-ready world of Georgian elections to the celebrity culture of Blair's Britannia, pointing to important questions of chronology and interpretation for anyone interested in political culture and the history of masculinity.' - Helen Rogers, Liverpool John Moores University
