{"product_id":"9780253111258","title":"Oxbridge Men: British Masculinity and the Undergraduate Experience, 1850-1920","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mythic status of the Oxbridge man at the height of the British Empire\u003cbr\u003e continues to persist in depictions of this small, elite world as an ideal of\u003cbr\u003e athleticism, intellectualism, tradition, and ritual. In his investigation of the\u003cbr\u003e origins of this myth, Paul R. Deslandes explores the everyday life of undergraduates\u003cbr\u003e at Oxford and Cambridge to examine how they experienced manhood. He considers\u003cbr\u003e phenomena such as the dynamics of the junior common room, the competition of exams,\u003cbr\u003e and the social and athletic obligations of intercollegiate boat races to show how\u003cbr\u003e rituals, activities, relationships, and discourses all contributed to gender\u003cbr\u003e formation. Casting light on the lived experience of undergraduates, Oxbridge Men\u003cbr\u003e shows how an influential brand of British manliness was embraced, altered, and\u003cbr\u003e occasionally rejected as these students grew from boys into men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067639382256,"sku":"9780253111258","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253111258_p0.jpg?v=1763681041","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253111258","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
