[Abridged ed. Chapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, 2010. 1 online resource (x, 385 p.) Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction : the position and course of the South -- The softened echo of the world -- All the tribes, all the productions of nature -- A volley of words -- The shape of a history -- Pride and power -- Philosophy and faith -- Epilogue : cool brains. Michael O'Brien has masterfully abridged his award-winning two-volume intellectual history of the Old South, Conjectures of Order . Here he succinctly and fluidly surveys the lives and works of many significant Southern intellectuals, including John C. Calhoun, Louisa McCord, James Henley Thornwell, and George Fitzhugh. He offers a new understanding of the South by describing a place neither monolithic nor out of touch, but conflicted, mobile, and ambitious to integrate modern intellectual developments into its tense and idiosyncratic social experience.
