The male image

"How does postwar poetry explore what it means to be a man: the experiences of the male body, of masculine identity and the links between the two? Ian Gregson's book discusses conventional expectations about male power - how the acquisition and maintenance of such power is a source of both prestige and vulnerability, so that, in comparison with the phallus, the penis can appear significantly fragile."--Jacket.
