The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Santayana by Russell Kirk

The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Santayana by Russell Kirk. Revised Edition. Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, [date from copyright page]. Hardcover with dust jacket.

Russell Kirk's landmark history of conservative thought, tracing a tradition from Edmund Burke through John Adams, Coleridge, Disraeli, and Newman to Santayana. First published in 1953, it gave the postwar conservative movement a lineage and a name, and it remains the foundational text for traditionalist conservatism. This is the revised edition, with a "landmark" blurb from Fortune on the jacket.
