Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Roosevelt’s Revolution
“The New Deal which emerges from Beito’s narrative is nothing less than a revolution against the American constitutional order.”
Recovering the Idea of Statesmanship
“The originality of Burtka’s approach lies in his effort to restore an even more old-fashioned approach, that of the ‘mirror of princes,’ as the key to taking statesmanship seriously once again.”
Sowell’s Summary Argument
“Chipping away at elite consensus over the progressive agenda… requires a cultural turn…”
Vanquishing the Social Justice Warriors
“…the book is best for those who are relatively new to Sowell’s work, for it provides a taste of many themes that have guided his political and economic thought from the 1970s to today.”
A Gentleman Out of Moscow
“Maddocks is an able guide as she wanders through the adventures, disappointments, and adjustments that Rachmaninoff would experience from his escape in 1917 to his death in 1943.”
Taking the Road Less Traveled
“Rattelle’s lyrical poems… echo Frost both in obvious ways and in their inventiveness within the constraints of form.”
To Recover Is to Return
“The decline [Esolen] has diagnosed is not merely a shift in cultural tastes or even a change in values; it is a near total loss of what it means to be human.
Gerald Russello and the Art of Memory
This essay was delivered as a memorial lecture at Fordham University, New York, on November 15, 2023.
Claiming the Classical Tradition
“The book stands as a powerful argument that the Classical Tradition has been essential to the lived Black experience in the United States for four centuries. And consequently, the book asserts that any attempts to deny such a connection severs Black Americans from a heritage to which they owe much and from which they will find a treasure trove of wisdom.”
