- Annotation
- Develops a theory of masculinity based on assertion rather than aggression, analyzing the presentation of manliness in The Old Man and the Sea and Homer s Iliad. In contrast to Achilles s political manifestation of manliness, Mansfield claims Santiago s manliness is rendered nonpolitical because the natural setting of the sea lacks social context.
