SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"This book provides new insights into the relationship between masculinity and jealousy in contemporary Hollywood cinema. It argues that jealousy has played a key role in the psycho-cultural shaping of Western masculinities and male fantasy, and provides a compelling overview of how these ideas can be used to understand debates around the perceived losses and insecurities of masculinities today."--Jacket.
