In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the review:
When he died in 2011, Lawrence R. Schehr left behind a peerless interdisciplinary body of work. His monographs and journal articles were in areas as diverse as gender and queer studies, literature from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as well as French language, culture and civilization. Although the title French Post-Modern Masculinities gives the impression that the monograph will address the entire post-modern period, Schehr concentrates on the last twenty years. As he explains French Post-Modern Masculinities, his latest monograph, sets out to examine the “changes in the representations and depictions of masculinity and masculine sexualities in the contemporary era of France” (1).
