Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author discusses Krystyna Kłosińska’s monograph entitled Neuroza. Zagrożone męskości. In a synthetic approach, the reviewer situates Kłosińska’s latest book in the context of her earlier scientific works and masculinity studies. The author shows that for Krystyna Kłosińska, neurosis is a category that brings together nineteenth-century obsessions; fantasies and internalized fears related to technological development; challenges related to political changes and the capitalist economy. Kłosińska puts the figures of masculinity at the center of her research and interprets them from the perspective of nineteenth-century gender divisions.
