About this book

A Man's Place: Masculinity and the Middle-Class Home in Victorian England by Tosh, Professor John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300077797.

In this fascinating look at the home lives of middle class men in nineteenth-century England, John Tosh shows how contradictions in Victorian ideals of domesticity and masculinity shaped men`s lives. Responding to the conflicts associated with being absent from home for the working day or longer, Victorian husbands and fathers encountered and grappled with issues of gender politics that persist today.
