- Annotation
- Draws on gender theory to examine the 1920s socially constructed hierarchy of manliness represented in The Sun Also Rises. Requena-Perlegr analyzes the whole white male body within the context of the technologically advancing modernist period, addressing Jake Barnes s ability to transcend his position of masculine subordination resulting from his incomplete body, thus revealing the permeability of hegemonic masculinity.
