Critics in the rather recent field of Masculinity Studies argue that (just like femininity) “masculinity is never fully possessed, but must perpetually be achieved, asserted and renegotiated” (Michael Roper and John Tosh). According to cultural and literary historians the long eighteenth-century (framed by the Restoration and Romanticism) is a particularly interesting period for scholars interested in constructions of masculinity because at the time the very notions of ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ were rather fluid and hotly contested sites of cultural conflict. Throughout the eighteenth century various concepts of masculinity competed, while the rise of the middle class (and the novel) ushered in the bourgeois concept of ‘the separate spheres’ and the concomitant ‘two-sex model’ which, eventually, firmly established the self-made gentleman as the dominant masculine ideal around 1800. In this context, the lecture series analyses and interprets poems, plays, essays and novels by authors such as the Earl of Rochester, Aphra Behn, Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson, Frances Burney, William Wordsworth and Mary Shelley.
