This book represents a summary of a conservative experience.,
This review is from: The Sword Of Imagination: Memoirs Of A Half-Century Of Literary Conflict (Hardcover)
The late Dr. Kirk, one of the fathers of american conservative thought, has presented a compelling narrative of the life and passions of a conservative thinker who navigated the troubled waters of the Twentieth Century. The book explores the moral, ethical, and political dimensions of his intellectual self-discovery. In the process of reading this well crafted work, one will learn a great deal about the ideals and truths that underlie the modern conservative movement. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand the foundations of the modern world and the options for a better future.

One of two most influential biographies I've read,
By William O. Price "ap Rhys" (Kent, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sword Of Imagination: Memoirs Of A Half-Century Of Literary Conflict (Hardcover)
As a young man I encountered C. S. Lewis in his "Surprised by Joy." I have long considered it one of the most influential books I've read. Now I add Kirk's autobiography to that short list. I have read much of Kirk over the years, but his masterful style--he truly was a man of letters--works in "Sword" to reveal the man behind the writings. Kirk is a fascinating fellow and provides a model of the contemplative life in our modern age.
