Summary: New Lad culture boomed in the 1990s with the publication of mens magazines such as loaded, FHM and Maxim. What were the commercial roots of this boom and what did it say about contemporary masculinity and the dynamics of cultural production? Applying a cultural-economic approach and drawing on interviews with key figures at the sectors leading products, Crewe unwraps the means through which publishing companies comprehended and addressed the mens magazine audience in the 1990s. He argues that it was informal knowledge about cultures of masculinity held by editorial practitioners that was decisive in constituting individual magazines and the overall character of the sector. In exploring the cultural resources, identifications and ambitions around which the market crystallized, Crewe provides an in-depth comparison of the editors and editorial identity of loaded, the pioneer of the mass market, with those of Esquire and Arena, magazines associated with the sectors initial reformation. Clear and comprehensive, this work sheds new light on the commercial assessment and representation of modern masculine culture. 1 Kg.

About the book (from the dust jacket) WHEN Sara Crewe arrived in Victorian London to attend Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies,-she was treated like a little princess. Especially by Miss Minchin. After all, she was the richest girl in the school. But none of Miss Minchin's fawning attention, fine new clothes, or even a wonderful new doll named Emily meant much to Sara. She missed her dear father in India, the only family she had in all the world. Then one day, Miss Minchin summoned Sara to the parlor with tragic news that would change her life. No longer did the headmistress pretend to be the kind Miss Minchin, as she cruelly banished the now penniless Sara to live in the attic., But Sara is a true heroine, and no matter how hard life became, she remained courageous, compassionate, and undaunted. Generations of children have laughed, cried, and cheered with Sara Crewe. Her story, nearly a hundred years old, is as magical and exciting today as it was when Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote it in 1888, Now artist Margot Tomes has created splendid full-color paintings and numerous line illustrations to make this a treasured gift edition of a favorite classic. About the Author (from the dust jacket) FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT (1849-1924) wrote SARA CREWE in 1888, when it first appeared as a serial in the popular children's magazine, St. Nicholas. It was also published as a book, and she dramatized it in 1903, The story was so popular that she later expanded it into the longer novel, A LITTLE PRINCESS. Not unlike Sara in her-story, Burnett's own_ father died when she was a little girl, leaving the family to face hard times. Her early years were spent in Manchester, England, where she was born, but when she was still young, the family moved to Tennessee, and Miss Burnett lived most of her life in America. Her first story was published when she was thirteen. She went on to write numerous short stories and almost fifty books, among them THE SECRET GARDEN (1910) and LITTLE ORD FAUNTLEROY (1886). About the illustrator (from the dust jacket) MARGOT TOMES has illustrated many books for children, winning special critical acclaim for her illustrations in Jean Fritz's biographies for young readers, among them AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED. PAUL REVERE? and WHERE Do you THINK YOURE GOING, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS? In 1977. Ms. Tomes illustrated TACK AND THE WONDER BEANs, by James Still. and it was cited as one of the year's Best Illustrated Books by The New York Times.
