Of the Book in Question and the Amiable Goodness Thereof
Upon reading the aforementioned work by the great and amiable Englishman Russel Kirk, I have been forced to come to conclusion that the work is, in general, well-written and, in particular, quite enlightening. His explanations of Eliot's important poetical works are ...

The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945

George H. Nash

Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2006

Required reading

The Solzhenitsyn Reader: New and Essential Writings, 1947-2005

Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2006

Major Step Forward for English Readers
This set is a major step forward to the presentation and understanding of Solzhenitsyn to English speaking readers. It is a process that will still take years, but I suspect this volume will be pivotal. In the early days, the writer's books were rushed into print ...

Forgotten Founder, Drunken Prophet: The Life of Luther Martin (Lives of the Founders)
Bill Kauffman

Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2008

The Anti-Federalist Luther Martin of Maryland is known to us?if he is known at all?as the wild man of the Constitutional Convention: a verbose, frequently drunken radical who annoyed the hell out of James Madison, George Washington, Gouverneur Morris, and the other giants responsible for the creation of the Constitution in Philadelphia that summer ...

American Conservatism: An Encyclopedia

Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2006

A presentation of "modern" conservatism.
AMERICAN CONSERVATISM: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA is a monumental resource for anyone wishing to delve into the evolution of what I would term as "modern" conservatism. By that I mean, this is not a history of conservatism, dating back to its origins in American politics, but is ...
