Book excerpt: It is the purpose of this study to suggest how such a career finally became conceivable at this historical moment by examining the ways each of these authors managed to negotiate a relationship to writing that enabled them to mature into adulthood, not only without relinquishing their writing, but actually by means of the self-scrutiny and social interaction enabled by that writing." "This study also investigates some of the many cultural inflections of manhood in Elizabethan England - both in the relationship of fathers to sons and the relationship of men to women."--BOOK JACKET.
