case studies provided are fascinating and the analysis insightful. It is also an ambitious work that attempts to give us a sense of the continuities in gentry masculinity over the longue durée, for which French and Rothery should be commended. As contributions to the debate around the relationship between masculinity and the continuation of patriarchal power both these works are timely, highlighting how male authority was created, engendered and evolved over time, if drawing on different methodological and theoretical approaches to this question. Moreover, reflecting the increasing importance of socialisation and child development to our discussions of gender and self, both works focus on the household and family as key sites for the creation of normative gendered behaviours, refocusing our discussion of manliness from the `public' to the `private', or, perhaps more accurately, problematising any clear division between the two. In this, both works are at the forefront of current thinking in the history of masculinity in the long eighteenth century.
