Table of ContentsReviewsThe book impresses with its attentive close readings of important texts, and makes a valuable contribution to gender studies of eighteenth-century Britain. Times Literary Supplement 2009 An engaging study of elite modes of early modern criminality... A richly rewarding volume that gains more than a little residual glamour from its popular subjects. The strength of the text, though, is in Mackie's incisive questioning of that glamour. This is not, finally, a book about pirates (or highwaymen, or rakes) so much as it is a study of our fascination with them. -- Ingrid Ranum Journal of Early Modern Cultural Studies 2010 Mackie is to be congratulated on the range, scholarship, and critical perception in her study of some disquieting resemblances between deviant masculine types and perfect gentleman. -- Carolyn D. Williams Eighteenth-Century Fiction 2010 Opens up new avenues for thinking about masculinity, gender, and authority in the long eighteenth century. -- Hal Gladfelder 1650-1850 2010 Mackie's impressive work offers a fascinating study of criminal and moral masculinity. -- Sarah Elizabeth Fanning Scriblerian 2011 In this well-researched study, Mackie makes a strong case for the inclusion of alternative, criminal masculinities in understanding the development of the modern English gentleman and patriarchy in the eighteenth century. Situated at the nexus of gender theory and literary studies, her book adds to the study of modern and late modern cultural norms of gender and sexuality through discourse analysis of literary and nonliterary texts. -- Srividhya Swaminathan Journal of British Studies 2010 The central concern of this book is the transformation of the 'British gentleman' from the so-called Glorious Revolution through reformulations of patriarchy as exhibited in taste, sensibility, and virtue in the 18th century and beyond.
