The publisher’s notes for Performing Masculinity reads as follows:
This interdisciplinary study analyzes the ways in which signs of masculinity have been performed across a wide variety of contexts and genres – including literature, classical ballet, sports, rock music, films and computer games – from the early nineteenth century to the present day.
You can buy the book on the publisher’s site. I’m less surprised about the price (even the ebook version is $80!) than the fact that it’s available in a softcover edition. Such a book should be hardcover only!

This reminds me of the famous National Lampoon cover with Buy This Issue or We'll Shoot This Dog, except with a cat. Great find.
