Appears NEW AND UNREAD! Gift quality. Allan Peterkin is a Canadian physician, writer, and cultural historian whose work has ranged across medicine, psychiatry, and cultural commentary with a consistent interest in the intersection of personal appearance, identity, and social meaning. He has demonstrated across his published work an ability to move fluently between serious scholarly engagement with cultural and medical subjects and the more accessible register of popular non fiction writing aimed at a general readership, and his interest in the cultural history of grooming and personal appearance reflects a broader intellectual curiosity about how physical self presentation shapes and is shaped by social identity, cultural norms, and individual psychology. Nick Burns brought to the collaboration complementary expertise and perspective that enriched the practical and cultural dimensions of the subject, combining with Peterkin's cultural historical approach to produce a work that balanced informational substance with visual appeal and accessible presentation. The Bearded Gentleman is a style guide and cultural history of the beard and male facial grooming, examining the subject from the dual perspectives of practical grooming guidance and broader cultural and historical commentary on the meanings and significance that beards and facial hair have carried across different periods and cultural contexts. The combination of practical style advice with cultural historical depth reflects an approach that acknowledges the subject as simultaneously a matter of everyday personal practice and a surprisingly rich vehicle for exploring questions about masculinity, identity, fashion, and social convention across human history. The cultural history of the beard proves to be one of considerable richness and complexity when examined seriously, as facial hair has functioned across human societies and historical periods as a powerful marker of masculinity, social status, religious identity, professional affiliation, generational belonging, and political allegiance. The beard has been alternatively celebrated as a symbol of wisdom, authority, and virile masculinity and condemned as a mark of barbarism, uncleanliness, or social nonconformity, with attitudes shifting dramatically across different periods and cultural contexts in ways that reveal a great deal about the broader social values and anxieties of the societies in which those attitudes prevailed. The practical style guide dimension of the book addresses the techniques, tools, and products associated with beard cultivation and maintenance alongside the broader questions of how different beard styles suit different facial types and personal aesthetics, providing readers with the kind of concrete and actionable grooming guidance that distinguishes a style guide from a purely historical or cultural study. This practical content reflects an awareness that readers coming to the book are likely motivated as much by a desire to improve or inform their own grooming practice as by purely historical or cultural curiosity. The publication sits within a broader revival of interest in traditional male grooming practices and beard culture that became increasingly visible in popular culture from the early years of the twenty first century onward, as attitudes toward male facial hair shifted significantly and the cultivation of beards moved from the margins of male grooming fashion toward a more mainstream and culturally celebrated position. A publication combining historical depth with practical guidance was well positioned to serve the interests of readers participating in or curious about this cultural shift and seeking both the practical knowledge and the broader cultural context that would inform their engagement with the subject.

Sinopsis

For centuries, men have been growing and styling their facial hair, whether for the sake of vanity, religion, or cultural considerations, but most of us don&;t give it a second thought. The Bearded Gentleman is an authoritative yet lighthearted guide that offers detailed information on some fifty specific facial hair styles: where they come from, how to grow them, and how to maintain them.

Among them are many well-known styles, such as the Handlebar, the Fu Manchu, the Goatee, the Van Dyck, and the more recent Soul Patch. But there are also those that are less familiar, including the Horseshoe, the Lampshade, the Painter&;s Brush, the Landing Strip, the French Fork, and El Insecto (a.k.a. the Mighty). There&;s also practical advice on choosing a facial hair style that&;s right for you, as well as insight into how facial hair has figured in the history of masculinity, including its impact on politics, class, and sexuality.

The Bearded Gentleman is an entertaining, witty, and useful guide to facial hair styles and the men who wear them.

Allan Peterkin&;s previous books include One Thousand Beards: A Cultural History of Facial Hair, featured in Time, Esquire, and The New Yorker.

Nick Burns is one of the leading writers on men&;s grooming; he has covered skin care, fashion, and health for publications including The New York Times, GQ, Details, and Out, and he is author of the popular men&;s style blog HommeGrooming.com.
