Index
Sir Roger Scruton is widely seen as one of the greatest
conservative thinkers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
and a polymath who wrote a wide array of fiction, non-fiction and
reviews. He was the author of over fifty books.
A graduate of Jesus College, Cambridge, Scruton was Professor of
Aesthetics at Birkbeck College, London; University Professor at
Boston University, and a visiting professor at Oxford University.
He was one of the founders of the Salisbury Review, contributed
regularly to The Spectator, The Times and the Daily Telegraph and
was for many years wine critic for the New Statesman. Sir Roger
Scruton died in January 2020.
Elegant and moving - a classic elegy.
*Independent*
Lovers of England and the English will find themselves reading this
long farewell with constant exclamations of agreement and flashes
of new understanding...The most powerful and touching parts of it
are snatches of Scruton's own autobiography.
