*Robert Taylor: Male Beauty, Masculinity and Stardom in Hollywood*

Investigating the initial construction and subsequent developments of 
Taylor's star persona across his thirty-five-year career, this book 
examines wider concepts of male beauty, men as object of the erotic 
gaze, white American masculinity, and the unusual longevity of a career 
initially based on looks to highlight how gender, masculinity, and the 
ageing process all affected Taylor's career.

Taking a mostly chronological approach, it examines Taylor's film and 
television work as well as ephemeral material, such as fan magazines, to 
assess how his on- and off-screen personas were created and developed 
over time. His persona is placed within specific historical moments, 
showing the complex paradox of an image that remained consistently 
recognizable while also shifting seamlessly within the Hollywood industry.
