Biography
Scott Slawinski is Associate Professor in the Department of English at Western Michigan University.
'Slawinski's book is well written and intelligent, useful both for the lesson it provides in how to derive meaning from the often-ignored late eighteenth-century periodical literature and its call for greater attention to masculinity in history and literature.' – The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
