The book documents the rapid emergence of a new and increasingly important field, and takes forward the definition of this new field. John Tosh addresses the big issues of theory and periodisation, exploring the relationship between masculinity and patriarchy, and between men's public role and their emotional and domestic lives. These insights inform his sensitive treatment of the history of the Victorian family. In the final section of the book John Tosh re-examines some of the major themes of British imperial history, arguing that the empire needs to be seen as a specifically male enterprise answering to masculine aspirations and insecurities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of masculinity does not deal with a neglected group. It potentially modifies our view of every field of history in which men are the principal subject-matter ? most of written history. History is still predominantly about men, and this book shows what a difference it makes to our understanding of history to put their masculinity under scrutiny. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for students, teachers and researchers in the history of the family and of the British Empire, as well as Gender Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHN TOSH is Professor of History at Roehampton University.
