The exploration of male sexuality in nineteenth-century American literature reveals that classic male protagonists often seek solitude rather than fraternity or heterosexual relationships. Greven argues that these characters prioritize emotional and sexual inviolability, highlighting a complex dynamic in their desires and interactions. This analysis challenges traditional views of masculinity and intimacy in the literature of the time.
