In Defense of Tradition

Richard M Weaver, a thinker and writer celebrated for his unsparing diagnoses and realistic remedies for the ills of our age, is known largely through a few of his works that remain in print. This new collection of Weaver''s shorter writings, assembled by Ted J Smith III, Weaver''s leading biographer, presents many long-out-of-print and never-before-published works that give new range and depth to Weaver''s sweeping thought. Included are eleven previously unpublished essays and speeches that were left in near-final form at the time of Weaver''s death in 1963. In all, there are some one hundred and twenty-six essays, speeches, book reviews, and editorials.
