Heroic Masculinities

As you develop your topic, consider the themes we have been addressing this semester: theatricality, honor, martial valor, autonomy, libertinism, sexual incapacity, homoeroticism, homosociality, (love) slavery, sensibility, authorship, and reproduction. Think of these themes as interpretive problems: Is theatricality a means to power or a feminizing exercise? Why is sexual incapacity at the center of texts celebrating libertinism? How does martial valor function in a culture of sensibility? Identify an interpretive problem within the text(s) that you would like to examine. Once you have identifed an interpretive problem, gather rescources that speak to it. You will incorporate at least four sources into your essay, both contextual (at least 1) and critical (at least two). Of course, your research will lead you to many sources, and your task is to select the sources most significant to the problem that you are investigating.
