We have just posted an extensive biographical interview of Russell Kirk, conducted in 1989 by Sally Wright (whose novels were reviewed recently in the University Bookman). In “Russell Kirk: Reflections on a Vagrant Career,” Wright captured Kirk’s perspectives on his life, personality, conversion, opinions, and much more. The piece is a good introduction to Kirk for the new reader, and will also have much to interest those familiarwith Kirk and his writings.
"Ferenc Hörcher and Dan Pitt... seem timed to match this shift in popular discourse. Intellectual Conservatism offers a history of English political ideas to a new and motivated audience. Limiting focus on Britain paradoxically enhances the book’s usefulness in other countries."
I am most grateful for a perceptive and cogent review of Intellectual Conservatism: From Burke to Scruton by @shawn_whatley via @ubookman.
