The drama of masculinity and medieval English guild culture
Fitzgerald, Christina Marie.

The drama of masculinity and medieval English guild culture[electronic resource] /Christina M. Fitzgerald. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - xiii, 214 p. - The new Middle Ages. - New Middle Ages (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)).

Includes bibliographical references (p. [191]-200) and index.

Men in the Household, Guild, and City -- The Domestic Scene: Patriarchal Fantasies and Anxieties in the Family and Guild -- Male HomosocialCommunities and Public Life -- Acting Like a Man: Christ and Masculinity.

This book provides a needed new interpretation of the complex cultural meanings of the late medieval, guild-produced, biblical plays of York and Chester, England, commonly known as mystery plays. It argues thatthe plays are themselves a ?drama of masculinity,? that is, dramatic activity specifically and self-consciously concerned with the fantasies and anxieties of being male in the urban, mercantile worlds of their performance. It further contends that the plays in their historical performance contexts produced and reinforced masculine communities defined by occupation, thus visibly naturalizing the world of work as masculine.The book offers welcome insight into a significant, canonical genre ofdramatic literature that has been studied previously in devotional andcivic contexts, but not yet in its role in the cultural history of masculinity.
