Schoene-Harwood's study does not only convince with its excellent new interpretations of many well-known novels, but by applying an interestingly new angle of interpretation to some classics it can also prove the significance of that approach ! offers important insights on aspects of cultural history and psychological theories. Berthold Schoene-Harwood's study brings insights arising from Men's Studies to bear on a selection of literary texts ... the strengths of Schoene-Harwood's study lie in its theoretical probings of fiction's engagements with 'patriarchal masculinity'. Writing Men is well-organised, rendering it both intellectually accessible and pedagogically useful ... provides theoretical clarity whilst avoiding over-simplifications ... Supported by a full bibliography, Writing Men is a lively work of theorised and applied criticism of value to anyone concerned with current debates over masculine literary representation and the potential for an emancipatory ecriture masculine. An admirable ! first step towards an enormous and vital body of literary work.
