From Boys to Men by Ruth Mazo Karras

From Boys to Men by Ruth Mazo Karras

"The book ... will find a broad audience. It would work well in the classroom... Effectively combating the nonspecialist's view of the Middle Ages as a monolithic and static society, it will encourage more subtle thinking about gender identities in the past and in the present.-American Historical Review

"A founding document in the field of men's history"—Jo Ann McNamara, author of Sisters in Arms

"The book, well written and accessible, will find a broad audience. It would work well in the classroom, either as a source of lecture material or as assigned reading. Effectively combating the nonspecialist's view of the Middle Ages as a monolithic and static society, it will encourage more subtle thinking about gender identities in the past and in the present. The book also sets a research agenda for specialists.—American Historical Review

"Part of the achievement of this fine book is the care with witch it unfolds material and textual evidence of male and female relations. No less valuable is its subtle acknowledgment that modern preoccupations with gender and sexuality can prompt overreading of sources."—Journal of English and Germanic Philology

"Extremely welcome."—History
