<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A previous version of this book was published in 1957 by The Devin-Adair Company as The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Conservatism."--Title verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The modern conservative intellectual movement began in 1953 with Russell Kirk's groundbreaking book <i>The Conservative Mind.</i> Four years later, he published a pithy, wry, philosophical summary of what conservatism really means. Originally titled <i>The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Conservatism</i>, this little book was essentially a popular version of <i>The Conservative Mind.</i> <p/> Now, a century after its author's birth, this neglected gem has been recovered. It remains what Kirk intended it to be: an accessible introduction to conservative ideas, especially for the young. With a new title and an introduction by the eminent intellectual historian Wilfred M. McClay, <i>Russell Kirk's Concise Guide to Conservatism </i>arrives with uncanny timing. The movement that Kirk defined in 1953 is today so contested and fragmented that no one seems able to say with confidence what conservatism means. <p/> This book, as fresh and prophetic as the day it was published sixty years ago, is a reminder that no one can match Russell Kirk in engaging people's minds and imaginations--an indispensable task in reviving our civilization.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Russell Kirk was an acclaimed American political theorist and bestselling author whose 1953 book <i>The Conservative Mind </i>is one of the most important political books of the 20th century. Kirk passed away in 1994.
