Description:

‘Independence’ was an important ideal for men in Georgian England. In this period, however, the word meant much more than simply the virtues of self-sufficiency and impartiality. Most people believed that obligations absolutely compromised freedom and conscience, whereas ‘independence’ was associated with manly virtue and physical vigour. Fundamentally, the political world was thought to consist of ‘independent men’, exercising their consciences and standing up for the general good. As such, Georgians thought about political action and masculine virtue very differently to the ways in which we do today.

In this study, newly available in paperback, Matthew McCormack establishes the links between the histories of masculinity and politics, highlighting the centrality of ‘manly’ ideals in the political world and - conversely - the role of politics in the operation of gender ideology.
