This dissertation investigates Major-General Charles Lee and the overlapping societies of American politics and the military during the Revolutionary era, 1755-1783. As Charles Lee's experience illustrates, reputation was critical to success in these exaggeratedly masculine societies. When Lee acted outside the norms of social and professional behavior his image and reputation suffered, as did his working relationships with other gentlemen, where ruining a man's reputation by innuendo and vengeful behavior, as Lee's enemies did, was a favored tactic of political and military rivals. Lee deepens our understanding of reputation, masculinity, and identity during this era in American history. His life illustrates how a man's reputation goes through periods of fame and obscurity, honor and dishonor, success and failure; it demonstrates how men identified, assessed, and bridged transatlantic masculine ideas through the creation and interaction of working relationships; and it shows how everyday experiences in a different cultural setting can transform personal identities.
