Description

Strictly, the Southerner had no mind; he had temperament. He was not a scholar; he had no intellectual training; he could not analyze an idea, and he could not even conceive of admitting two. This judgment, rendered in ""The Education of Henry Adams"", may be the most quoted of Adams' writings on the South. It is, however, far from the only one of his beliefs that helped shape a national outlook on the region from the late antebellum period to the present. Thinking about the South, says Michael O'Brien, was ""part of being an Adams."" Here O'Brien considers how Adams (grandson of President John Quincy Adams and great-grandson of President John Adams) looked at the region during various phases of his life. At the same time, O'Brien explores the cultural and familial impulses behind those views and locates them in American intellectual history.

Author Biography:

Michael O'Brien is Reader in American Intellectual History at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Jesus College. He is founder of the Southern Intellectual History Circle and was the longtime series editor of the Publications of the Southern Texts Society. O'Brien is the author or editor of several books on southern intellectual history, including the Bancroft Prize - winner Conjectures of Order.
