• catalog abstract "Russell Kirk (1918-1994) was an active participant in the intellectual, social, and political contests of our era. This memoir, written dispassionately in the third person, is a lively account of the literary and political controversies of more than half a century. These centuries discuss the climate of opinion, the tribulations, and the prospects of modern culture, as perceived by a person who commenced as a small boy in the railroad yards outside Detriot; began to acquire college degrees; served four years as a soldier; studied and wandered in Scotland, western Europe, Africa, and elsewhere; became a gray eminence in national politics through the publication of his book The Conservative Mind; was a polemicist and debater during the turbulent sixties and seventies; wrote a syndicated newspaper column and a page in National Review; published some thirty books and edited many others; was converted by dead writers to the Catholic faith; and settled in an Italianate mansion in the decayed village of Mecosta, Michigan, where, from his remote, northern fastness, he wielded his sword of imagination, laying bare the conceits of a sensate age. -- from dust jacket.".
