Blending biography and intellectual history, this book examines Allport's early career and his concept of "personality" and its theoretical implications. Nicholson (psychology, Saint Thomas University) argues that the emergence of "personality" as an object of scientific study was rooted in the cultural politics of the 1920s and 1930s, and specifically the decline of "character" as a moral category.
