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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRAD MINER\u003c\/b\u003e is the senior editor of The Catholic Thing, the daily blog of the Faith \u0026amp; Reason Institute.
