Gender Studies in Wales: Representing the Male, Masculinity, Genre and Social Context in Six South Wales Novels — Masculinity, Genre and Social Context in Six South Wales Novels

Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description

Mae'r astudiaeth hon yn dadlau bod patriarchaeth ddiwydiannol yn ne Cymru wedi sefydlu ffurf ddethol a dinistriol o gydymffurfiad gwrywaidd strwythurol a fynegwyd drwy arferion rhywedd cyfyngedig a chyfyngol.

Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description

This book argues that industrial patriarchy in South Wales established an exclusive though damaging form of structural masculine conformity expressed through a limited –and limiting – set of gendered practices.

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

• A book entirely devoted to a subject in and of Wales that has not previously been published in Wales. • The subject -- Masculinity -- is also a growing discipline in international study. • The novelists presented societies and times in which they had either lived or continued to live. • Working class or ‘proletarian’ fiction features in several UK and US university syllabuses. • The book connects Welsh fiction to a broad, international context beyond an English regionalism.
