By the sixteenth century, it had become an upscale must-have accessory. This lighthearted, illustrated examination of its history pulls in writers from Rabelais to Shakespeare and figures from Henry VIII to Alice Cooper. Glover’s witty and entertaining prose reveals how male vanity turned a piece of cloth into a bulging and absurd representation of masculinity itself. The codpiece, painted again and again by masters such as Titian, Holbein, Giorgione, and Bruegel, became a symbol of royalty, debauchery, virility, and religious seriousness—all in one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoftcover, 96 pages, 4 1\/4 x 7 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by David Zwirner Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Zwirner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049024508222,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1222\/0932\/files\/ScreenShot2026-08-07at3.02.51PM.png?v=1786129376","url":"https:\/\/www.shopyowie.pro\/products\/thrust-by-michael-glover","provider":"Yowie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
