From the rear cover
What is the gender of modernity? How can anything as abstract as a historical period have a sex? In the context of the current interest in the 'historicity of textuality and the textuality of history, ' the idea is not as strange as it may initially appear. If our sense of the past is inevitably shaped by the explanatory logic of narrative, then the stories that we create in turn reveal the inescapable presence and power of gender symbolism. This saturation of cultural texts with metaphors of masculinity and femininity is nowhere more obvious than in the case of the modern, perhaps the most pervasive yet elusive of periodizing terms. - from the Introduction.
