Reviewing Books that Build Culture
Returning to the Heights of Statesmanship
“…Mahoney exhorts us to hope for more from our leaders and to demand more from ourselves—more gratitude for great statesmen and the inheritance that they have passed on to us, more openness to human excellence and its importance, more conviction about moral truth, and more rigorous thought about the characteristics of statesmanship.”
Reclaiming Protestantism At Its Best
“…the Reformers celebrated by so many churches today shared a far “thicker” vision of society than the American frontier ideal… Theirs was an era of magistracy and hierarchy, not of lone cowboys gazing out upon an untapped wilderness.”
On the Fall of Fated Men
“Ranging over six centuries of invasion, immigration, and royal intrigue, Morris recounts the fascinating tale of that elusive bunch known, quite rightly, as the Anglo-Saxons.”
Society: A Community of Souls
“…we must make it our mission to revive the America that Tocqueville so eloquently wrote about: an America characterized by strong social bonds, neighborliness, and a collective willingness to govern ourselves.”
The Conservative Mind at 60: Russell Kirk’s Unwritten Constitutionalism
Gerald Russello, former editor of The University Bookman, on Russell Kirk’s “challenging historical and legal vision of the Constitution.”
Rights, Power, and Democracy Among the Anti-Federalists
“…Faber focuses on the development of Anti-Federalist ideas. He draws upon recent works on the Anti-Federalists that reveal a diversity in their approaches and arguments.”
History Is Never Certain
“Tocqueville would urge us to follow him… by thinking with him, learning creatively from his life, and remembering that history is never predetermined, never written in advance. Zunz’s biography helps us to do just that.”
Reading Dante on His Terms
“Frisardi… shows his love for the Supreme Poet by gathering thoughtful essays on his work into a coherent, useful book that explores Dante on his terms.”
In Memory Of Gerald J. Russello, 1971-2021
A poem by Eugene Schlanger.
