Williams, Timothy J.
Intellectual manhood : university, self, and society in the antebellum south. - [Place of publication not identified] : Univ Of North Carolina Pr, 2014. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-276) and index.
Going to college -- You come here to know how to learn : pedagogy and curriculum -- Not merely thinking, but speaking beings : speech education -- Reading makes the man : books and literary socialization -- Encouragement to excel : portraiture, biography, and self culture -- What is man without woman? : courtship, intimacy, and sex -- The outward thrust of male higher education : debating every great public question.
"In this in-depth and detailed history, Timothy J. Williams reveals that antebellum southern higher education did more than train future secessionists and proslavery ideologues. It also fostered a growing world of intellectualism flexible enough to marry the era's middle-class value system to the honor-bound worldview of the southern gentry. By focusing on the students' perspective and drawing from a rich trove of their letters, diaries, essays, speeches, and memoirs, Williams narrates the underexamined story of education and manhood at the University of North Carolina, the nation's first public university"--Page 4 of cover.
