Editorial Reviews
Review
'Slawinski's book is well written and intelligent, useful both for the lesson it provides in how to derive meaning from the often-ignored late eighteenth-century periodical literature and its call for greater attention to masculinity in history and literature.' – The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
