{"product_id":"the-essential-russell-kirk-selected-essays","title":"The Essential Russell Kirk: Selected Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs the author of The Conservative Mind and other seminal books  Russell Kirk is usually thought of as one of the American conservative political movements most important progenitors. But as this collection demonstrates  Kirk was perhaps at his best as an essayist. This volume also confirms that Kirks was principally a literary and historical conservatism that refused to fit the irreducible complexity of human experience to the requirements of any ideological straitjacket. With The Essential Russell Kirk  literary critic George A. Panichas captures the breadth and depth of Kirks intellectual project by gathering together forty-four of the most masterful of Kirks essays  along with a unique chronology told in Kirks own words and a substantial introduction that articulates the deep humanism that animated Kirks philosophy. The result is a carefully assembled volume that gives us a fuller picture of an extraordinary man and writer  one whose labors had  and continue to have  remarkable repercussions on the American literary and political landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947604799541,"sku":"ByrdShop_1933859024","price":36.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781933859026_07994394-36b2-4cf9-96a6-2358ff4f62a2.jpg?v=1770270480","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-essential-russell-kirk-selected-essays","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
