James Eli Adams examines masculine identity in Victorian literature from Thomas Carlyle through Oscar Wilde, analyzing authors who identify the age's ideal of manhood as the power of self-discipline. What distinguishes Adams's book from others in the recent explosion of interest in masculinity is his refusal to approach masculinity primarily in terms of \"patriarchy\" or \"phallogocentrism\" or within the binary of homosexualities and heterosexualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile drawing on work in feminism, queer theory, and cultural history, 'Dandies and Desert Saints' challenges scholars to rethink simplistic notions of Victorian manhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Eli Adams is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
