Richard III, Romeo, Prince Harry, Malvolio, Hamlet, Lear, Antony, Coriolanus, Prospero: Shakespeare's roster of male protagonists is astonishingly various.  Shakespeare and\n\u003cbr\u003eMasculinity juxtaposes these memorable characters with the medical beliefs, ethical ideals, and social realities that shaped masculine identity for Shakespeare, as for his fellow actors and their audiences.\n\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time it explores the process of male self-definition against various sorts of 'others' - women, foreigners, social inferiors, sodomites.
