Is a man's only choice between the brutish, rutting #MeToo lout and the gelded imitation woman, endlessly sensitive and fun to go shopping with? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo. Brad Miner invites you to discover the oldest and best model of manhood-- the gentleman. In this tour de force of popular history and gentlemanly persuasion, Miner lays out the thousand-year history of this forgotten ideal and makes a compelling case for its modern revival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThree masculine archetypes emerge here--the warrior, the lover, and the monk--forming the character of \"the compleat gentleman.\" He cultivates a martial spirit in defense of the true and the beautiful. He treats the opposite sex with passionate respect. And he values learning in pursuit of the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMiner's gentleman stands out for the combination of discretion, decorum, and nonchalance that the Renaissance called sprezzatura. He belongs to an aristocracy of virtue, not of wealth or birth, following a lofty code of manly conduct, which, far from threatening democracy, is necessary for its survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brad Miner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684511763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684511761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Regnery Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Brad Miner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44043185324287,"sku":"9781684511761","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba5484e8-3225-4d40-9928-bdc4e67d6f60.jpg?v=1684965722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-compleat-gentleman-brad-miner-9781684511761","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
