Isi artikel

This article argues that the American ideal of the self-made man came to be an important meaning of manhood in the Swedish middle class after 1850. It discusses the ideal of self-making and its relation both to earlier masculinities and briefly to other masculine ideals of the late nineteenth century. The purpose is to showboth what the newideal of the self-making man meant and that the ideal was never completely hegemonic. Even while men’s striving for riches became a mark of manhood, other, even contrary meanings of manhood existed.
