This critical survey of the back alleys of pulp culture reveals American masculinities to be unsettled, contentious, crisis-ridden, racially fraught, and sexually anxious. Libertarian in their sensibilities, self-aggrandizing in their sentiments, resistant to the lures of upper mobility, scornful of white collar and corporate culture, the protagonists of these popular and populist works viewed themselves as working-class heroes cast adrift. Pulp Virilities explores the enduring traditions of hard-boiled and noir literature, casting a critical eye on its depictions of urban life and representations of gender, crime, labor, and race. Demonstrating how anxieties and possibilities of American masculinity are hammered out in works of popular culture, Pulp Virilities provides a rich cultural genealogy of contemporary American social life. Arthur Redding is Professor of English at York University in Toronto, Canada, where he teaches American literature. He has written four books and numerous articles about such topics as anarchism and writing, the culture of the Cold War, contemporary gothic fiction, and American public intellectuals. 001449642 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001449642 650_0 $$aDetective and mystery stories, American$$xHistory and criticism. 001449642 650_0 $$aNoir fiction, American$$xHistory and criticism. 001449642 650_0 $$aAmerican fiction$$y20th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001449642 650_0 $$aDetective and mystery films$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 001449642 650_0 $$aFilm noir$$zUnited States$$xHistory and criticism. 001449642 650_0 $$aMasculinity in literature. 001449642 650_0 $$aMasculinity in motion pictures. 001449642 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001449642 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449642 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRedding, Arthur F., 1964-$$tPulp virilities and post-war American culture.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783031090530$$w(OCoLC)1338678985 001449642 830_0 $$aRenewing the American narrative. 001449642 852__ $$bebk 001449642 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-09054-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449642 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449642$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449642 980__ $$aBIB 001449642 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449642 982__ $$aEbook 001449642 983__ $$aOnline 001449642 994__ $$a92$$bISE
