Both narratological and anthropological tools are utilized in the textual analysis. Stone interestingly notes the link between sexual activity, gender and prestige structures; the emphasis on male contest and female chastity discussed by anthropologists of honour and shame; and the role of the exchange of women in relations between men. In each story, sexual practice is primarily related to male struggles for honour and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781850756408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Sheffield Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40611631136974,"sku":"9781850756408","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781850756408","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
