      abstract = {This book shows how diverse, critical modern world  narratives in prose fiction and film emphasize masculine  subjectivities through affects and ethics. Highlighting  diverse affects and mental states in subjective voices and  modes, modern narratives reveal men as feeling,  intersubjective beings, and not as detached masters of  master narratives. Modern novels and films suggest that  masculine subjectivities originate paradoxically from a  combination of copying and negation, surplus and lack,  sameness and alterity: among fathers and sons, siblings and  others. In this comparative study of more than 30 diverse  world narratives, Mooney deftly uses psychoanalytic  thought, narrative theories of first- and third-person  narrators, and Levinasian and feminist ethics of care,  creativity, honor, and proximity. We gain a nuanced picture  of diverse postpaternal postgentlemen emerging out of older  character structures of the knight and gentleman. Susan  Mooney, professor of Comparative Literature at the  University of South Florida, USA, is author of The Artistic  Censoring of Sexuality: Fantasy and Judgment in the  Twentieth-Century Novel (2008).},
