About The Book

John Andrew Rice is best remembered as the controversial dynamo behind Black Mountain College in North Carolina, one of the most renowned and vital experiments in higher education. A harsh and outspoken critic of American postsecondary schooling in the early twentieth century, Rice founded Black Mountain in 1933 to implement his innovative philosophy of education, including the centrality of artistic experience and emotional development to learning in all disciplines and the need for democratic governance shared between faculty and students with a lean and loosely structured administration. In this, the first, biography of Rice, Katherine Reynolds examines his life from birth to death, illuminating events and influences important to his formation, accomplishments, and failures as an education reformer, while also delineating his complicated personality. Reynolds’ extensive research of Rice, including interviews with descendants and former students, offers no simple summation of his character. Most who knew him agreed he was brilliant, a man full of ideals and charisma; but his arrogant, impulsive, sometimes unscrupulous darker side, perhaps formed from deep insecurity, undermined his staying power in any single place. When he was forced to resign from Black Mountain in 1940, Rice left his college, his profession, and his marriage all at once. Eventually he achieved substantial success as a writer, of short stories in particular.
