Book Description:

Intertextual Masculinity in French Renaissance Literature is an in-depth analysis of normative masculinity in a specific corpus from pre-modern Europe: narrative literature devoted to the subject of adultery and cuckoldry. Reading such historical documents as early modern legal texts, penance manuals, and criminal records in relation to the Cent nouvelles nouvelles and works by Rabelais and Brantôme, LaGuardia formulates a definition of masculinity in a specific historical context.
