The mythic status of the Oxbridge man at the height of the British
Empire continues to persist in depictions of this small, elite
world as an ideal of athleticism, intellectualism, tradition, and
ritual. In his investigation of the origins of this myth, Paul R.
Deslandes explores the everyday life of undergraduates at Oxford
and Cambridge to examine how they experienced manhood. He considers
phenomena such as the dynamics of the junior common room, the
competition of exams, and the social and athletic obligations of
intercollegiate boat races to show how rituals, activities,
relationships, and discourses all contributed to gender formation.
Casting light on the lived experience of undergraduates, Oxbridge
Men shows how an influential brand of British manliness was
embraced, altered, and occasionally rejected as these students grew
from boys into men.
