This study of the evolving definition of masculinity in France since the 18th century examines the aristocratic ethos of male honour, the cultural practices and mentality of middle and upper class men, and the appeal of codes of honour to men throughout French society.
After a decade of works on women''s history, historians are becoming aware of the dearth of literature on men''s history. Professor Nye addresses this gap in a study of evolving definitions of masculinity in France since the eighteenth century. He examines specifically the aristocratic ethos of male honour, rooted in a society of landlords, hunters, and warriors, adapted to a society motivated by utilitarian values, urban life, and rational law. He focuses on the cultural practices and mentality of middle and upper class men and the appeal of their codes to men throughout French society.
