Introduction -- Gender and nation: the Gaelicization of Irish manhood -- "Instruments of God's will": masculinity in early Irish film -- Institutional boys: adolescent masculinity and coming of age in Ireland's "architecture of containment" -- Family guys: detonating the Irish nuclear family -- "It's good to talk": language, loquaciousness and silence among Irish cinema's men in crisis -- Troubled bodies, troubled minds: republicanism, bromance and "house-training" the "men of violence" -- New lads or protest masculinities? underclass, criminal and socially- marginalised men in the films of the 1990s and 2000s -- Cool Hibernia: "new men", metrosexuals, Celtic soul and queer fellas -- Conclusion: a masculinity of "transcendent" defeat?
Spanning a broad trajectory, from the New Gaelic Man of post-independence Ireland to the slick urban gangsters of contemporary productions, this study traces a significant shift from idealistic images of Irish manhood to a much more diverse and gender-politically ambiguous range of male identities on the Irish screen.
