Disrupting the common assumption that the Victorians regarded their eighteenth-century predecessors with little interest or with disdain, this volume re-examines these relationships, exposing some of the significant and complex ways in which key aspects and texts of the eighteenth century were situated, read, and transacted with during the post-Romantic nineteenth century. The contributors challenge long-held assumptions about Victorian uses of the past, and offer new insights into how the literature and culture of the eighteenth century helped shape the culture and identity of the nineteenth. This collection of essays by an impressive array of scholars, with a Preface by David Fairer, offers a sharply new assessment of the energizing place of eighteenth-century literature and culture in the nineteenth century. While obviously of great interest to students of eighteenth-century and Victorian literature, the collection will also appeal to readers broadly concerned questions of literary influence, periodization, and historiography.

With limited resources to contextualize masculinity in colonial Mexico, film, literature, and social history perpetuate the stereotype associating Mexican men with machismo—defined as excessive virility that is accompanied by bravado and explosions of violence. While scholars studying men’s gender identities in the colonial period have used Inquisition documents to explore their subject, these documents are inherently limiting given that the men described in them were considered to be criminals or otherwise marginal. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century resources, too, provide a limited perspective on machismo in the colonial period. The Origins of Macho addresses this deficiency by basing its study of colonial Mexican masculinity on the experiences of mainstream men. Lipsett-Rivera traces the genesis of the Mexican macho by looking at daily interactions between Mexican men in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In doing so she establishes an important foundation for gender studies in Mexico and Latin America and makes a significant contribution to the larger field of masculinity studies.
