Kirk's Best Collection of Essays?
Rating  (5)

2 out of 2 customers found this reveiw helpful
Russell Kirk was a prolific writer and there are several collections of his essays in print. Many of the essays in the various collections cover a common ground, so it's tempting to say that if you've read one or two collections, you've read them all. On the other hand, this is one of the better collections and makes a good introduction to Kirk's work. In a number of relatively short essays, Kirk gives his views on a myriad of subjects, including religion, education, politics, and architecture. Perhaps the best essay is "The Rarity of the God-Fearing Man" which concerns the sappiness of contemporary religion.
This collection came out in 1965 and some (or all) were updated for the second edition in 1988.
