About this title

Synopsis

Over the past several years, the question of men's relation to feminist criticism has become a fiercely and sometimes bitterly debated topic. Engendering Men demonstrates the creative impact that feminist modes of inquiry have already had on a new generation of male critics.

In the wake of feminism, many men have found it imperative to begin the task of retheorizing- -as readers, writers, living and breathing bodies--the male position in our culture. Bringing together the work of 18 male critics, this collection of new work opens up an important new avenue in literary and cultural criticism, as well as in gender and feminist theory.
