'''''Manliness''''' is a book by [[conservative]]-leaning [[Harvard]] Professor Harvey Mansfield, who identifies and extols this trait which has been recognized since [[Ancient Greece]].
−
An entertaining read, the book is short on culture and [[American]] political history (except talks extensively about [[Teddy Roosevelt]]), but long in academic arguments based on literature. Professor Mansfield points out that ''[[Macbeth]]'' contains [[Shakespeare]]'s most praise of manliness and has many enlightening discussions of literature, such as a passage about Henry James' anti-feminist ''Bostonians''.

Mansfield sees manliness in athletes (too many to mention, he points out), and also in a few women such as [[Margaret Thatcher]] (a favorite of right-of-center professors).
