Reviews
A first-rate collection of brief original texts and accompanying explicative essays that encourages readers to think deeply about the nature of conservatism. This is a substantial achievement in a small package and an intellectual pleasure no matter the reader's own predilections. * Robert M. Collins, Wm. H. Byler Professor of Social and Behavioural Science Emeritus, University of Missouri, USA *
In this wide-ranging and discerning collection of essays, eighteen distinguished scholars help us to understand conservatism. The result is a deeper appreciation of the varieties and persistence of a political tendency that has crossed cultural boundaries and continues to influence our world. * George H Nash, author of The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 *
