Originally titled \u003ci\u003eThe Intelligent Woman's Guide to Conservatism\u003c\/i\u003e, this little book was essentially a popular version of \u003ci\u003eThe Conservative Mind.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eRussell Kirk's Concise Guide to Conservatism \u003c\/i\u003earrives 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRussell Kirk\u003c\/b\u003e (1918-1994), historian of ideas, critic, essayist, editor and novelist, was the author of thirty-two books.
