Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The book is an exciting study of male emotional injury in literature, medicine, and the law. Travis's strategy of carefully framing the scope of her book gives the reader a clear idea of what to expect and her energetic writing style makes it a pleasure to read. Since much of its appeal lies in its clever interdisciplinary approach, it is likely to also attract audiences outside the literary domain, in the fields of history and law.
