The first study on masculinity to focus on the English landed gentry. It covers the period from 1700 to 1900 and is based on several thousand letters written by 19 families. It concentrates on the common experiences of sons' upbringing, particularly schooling, university or business, foreign travel, and the move to family life and fatherhood.
