I am pleased to announce that my book on Robert Taylor and Classical Hollywood Cinema has just been published by University Press of Mississippi and to offer a 20% discount and free shipping on the paperback version within Europe.

*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.
