      abstract = {A most timely contribution to Masculinity Studies. While  most studies focus on notions of toxic masculinity, this  collection adopts a refreshing approach to the subject by  questioning hegemonic masculinity and by offering distinct  possibilities of being a man in contemporary society. A  must-read for anyone interested in changing masculinities  and gender relations. Josep M. Armengol, Universidad de  Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Is masculinity still in crisis?  In this colourful, erudite anthology many of the most  eminent masculinity scholars use their richly diverse  literary knowledge to answer this question. Their goal is  to find ways of finally ridding society of continuing  expressions of toxic masculinities. A necessary tonic for  our times. Lynne Segal, University of London, UK This  edited volume rethinks Masculinity Studies by breaking away  from the notion of the perpetual crisis of masculinity. It  argues that not enough has been done to distinguish  patriarchy from masculinity and proposes to detox  masculinity by offering a collection of positive  representations of men in fictional and non-fictional  texts. The editors show how ideas of hegemonic and toxic  masculinity have been too fixed on the exploration of  dominance and subservience, and too little on the men (and  the male characters in fiction) who behave following other  ethical, personal and socially accepted patterns. Bringing  together research from different periods and genres, this  collection provides broad, multidisciplinary insights into  alternative representations of masculinity.
