The Adventurous Male: Chapters in the History of the White Male Mind
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press
- Publish date: 01/01/2000
Description:
"This tremendously readable and engaging book goes against the grain of our political culture. It is a defense of adventure and of a definition of masculinity stressing the element of adventure in a culture that has become increasingly hostile to these values (though they survive, at least in attenuated form, in our popular culture). It needs to be read not just as a contribution to literary scholarship but as a contribution to public debate about the place of heroism in a democratic society, the prospects for adventure in a post-imperialist world, the relative merits of an aesthetic versus a moral and religious view of experience, the strengths and weaknesses of academic culture and university education, the promise and threat of feminism, and other important issues." --Christopher Lasch, University of Rochester
