THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN AND THE IDEA OF MASCULINITY: FIGURES AND ASPECTS OF THE SOUTHERN BEAU IN THE LITERARY TRADITION OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH by EMMELINE GROS Under the Joint Direction of Thomas McHaney and Jacques Pothier ABSTRACT The American planter has mostly been presented as the epitome of the romantic cavalier legend that could be found in the fiction of John Pendleton Kennedy to Thomas Nelson Page: a man of chivalric manners and good breeding; a man of good social position; a man of wealth and leisure (Concise Oxford Dictionary).1 A closer scrutiny of the cavalier and genteel ethos of the time, however, reveals the inherent ideological inconsistencies with the idea of the gentleman itself, as the ideal came to be more and more perceived as an illusion and as challenges to traditional gender stereotypes came to redefine the nature and role of the Southern Gentleman.

During this time Dewey’s thirst for philosophy developed. He submitted an essay “to W.T. Harris, then editor of the Journal of Speculative Philosophy”(Field, 2001). The acceptance of Dewey’s essay provoked him to “enroll as a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University”(Field, 2001). Dewey obtained his doctorate in 1884.
Library and Information Research Volume 36 Number 113 2012 _______________________________________________________________________________ A personal reflection on researching and writing my dissertation: The effect of homelessness on information access, identity formation and social interaction Thomas Muggleton Abstract This is a brief account of research undertaken for a dissertation, The effect of homelessness on information access, identity formation and social interaction, submitted to the University of Strathclyde in 2010 for the degree of M.Sc. Information and Library Studies. The dissertation aimed to add to the information science literature on homelessness, which often focuses on practical information needs, by considering access to information sources – specifically newspapers, television, radio, books and the internet – that may affect ‘higher-level’ needs. The findings contradicted initial expectations regarding the extent to which homelessness would restrict access to these information sources, but the decision to address higher-level information needs proved well-founded, since participants clearly pursued these alongside more basic physiological needs. The research has implications for the provision of information and services within both organisations serving the homeless and public libraries.
