• W350487738 abstract "This essay examines the intersection of religious faith and conceptions of manhood in turn-of-the-century American culture--a cultural moment during which many American investigated the limits of manhood, scrutinizing its qualities and evaluating what was manly and what was unmanly. Harold Frederic's best selling novel, The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896), considers precisely such issues. Frederic conceives the novel as jeremiad, lamenting the ascendancy of shallow, spiritually vacuous modern form of masculinity that he felt was supplanting an older, religious, essential form of manliness. The novel explores the contentious nexus of religious faith and existing at the start of the modern period. ********** In 1902 Cosmopolitan article entitled What Men Like In Men, Rafford Pyke extolled the manly qualities that he claimed, who is man would readily agree with. (1) The qualities that Pyke declared, without which is not man are: a sense of honor, courage, modesty, and dignity. (2) Despite the title's claim to deal with What Men Like In Men, Pyke spends the majority of the article describing what his honest, austere dislikes most in men: namely, the Sissy. Pyke's Sissy endeavors to assume an air of manliness around men, but laugh at him. He is always for something that he never finds.... He is chicken-hearted, cold, and fearful. He would like to be considered dangerous--a rake, of the world ... and when he nerves himself up to some piece of petty vice, he about and over it, though all the while he quakes internally lest the wrong persons should ever hear of it. The Sissy only possesses flabby, feeble, mawkish of an ardor which he never felt. (3) Pyke's sustained attack on the Sissy reveals perceived dissonance between manhood and an essential manhood. True manhood to Pyke is deep and intrinsic, full of silent courage and modesty that would never announce its own qualities: if is manly, then his will be recognized by others through the way he acts. A Sissy, conversely, endeavors, runs about, is groping for his manhood, as he cackles of his accomplishments to society in the hopes his imitation will be recognized as authentic manhood. Having no manhood internally, the Sissy has to rely on appearances and verbal bravado in place of the modest dignity of actions. By spending the bulk of the article on the unpleasant Sissy rather than the virtuous real man, Pyke reveals belief in the growing threat of the feminized Sissy to real men everywhere. Hardly an isolated example, Pyke's article is an instance of turn-of-the-century anxiety over issues of gender. (4) This was cultural moment in which many American investigated the limits of manhood, scrutinizing its qualities and evaluating what was manly and what was unmanly. Harold Frederic's The Damnation of Theron Ware (1896), published six years before Pyke's Cosmopolitan article, is long meditation on precisely such issues. The novel explores the modern masculinity that Frederic felt was supplanting an older, truer form of manliness. Frederic's character Jeremiah Madden, the humble, hardworking, spiritually reflective Irish peasant, is novelistic version of Pyke's manly ideal. While working every day at his mill and attending church services, he speaks no words in the novel, but represents the silent, unassuming manhood of someone who speaks through his actions because they carry more meaning than hollow words. As the representative of deeper manhood, the silent Jeremiah is buried in the book beneath the of its words that fill page after page with the surface verbosity of certain characters who represent the worst of modern manhood and the society that fosters it. To Frederic, Jeremiah Madden represents the essential signified of authentic manhood that is lost in blizzard of hollow and meaningless signifiers announcing the manhood of others. …" @default.
