Men and Feminism in Modern Literature 1985 First edition

Book is in excellent condition.
In Men and Feminism in Modern Literature, Declan Kiberd explores the responses of male authors to the rise of the "New Woman" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He examines how writers like Yeats, Lawrence, and Joyce grappled with evolving gender roles, analyzing themes such as androgyny, narcissism, and the complexities of sexual difference. Kiberd argues that these authors, often criticized by contemporary feminists, were in fact sexual radicals whose ideas influenced modern feminist thought. The book also delves into broader cultural developments, including psychology, fashion, and advertising, to contextualize the literary shifts of the period.​
