Abstract

This is a review of Claire Gleitman’s Anxious Masculinity in the Drama of Arthur Miller and Beyond: Salesmen, Sluggers and Big Daddies (2022). The volume represents an insightful study of the figure of the ‘anxious breadwinner’ and its legacy in American drama up to the late 2010s. Anxious Masculinity offers theatre and literary scholars the opportunity to look at classic and contemporary American authors from a new angle, but it also significantly contributes to the broader cultural debate around gender dynamics.
