Books Under Contract
“Rakes, Highwaymen, and Pirates: The Making of the Modern Gentleman in the Eighteenth Century.”
Bringing the rake, highwayman, and pirate back together with their contemporary, the modern gentleman, within an integrated history of masculinity, this study lays open the intersections among criminal behavior, gender, and socio-cultural status and so shows how the creation of an illicit space underwrites prestige and enshrines many of patriarchy's privileges.
