This chapter takes as its starting point the gendered nature of political
communications. It uses as case studies the careers — and subsequent
reputations — of two twelfth-century figures: the Southern Song general
Yue Fei (d. 1142), and the Angevin minister and churchman Thomas Becket
(d. 1170). Both rose from relatively humble beginnings to become powerful
men, and both met violent deaths at the hands of rivals within the elite.
Posthumously, they were both celebrated for specifically masculine virtues
in their respective cultures. This micro-comparative study deploys the
traditional Chinese dichotomy between wen (civil, cerebral) and wu
(military, physical) expressions of manhood to explore the masculinities
at play in their careers, their homosociality, and their reputations.
