Russell Kirk (1918-1994), the father of intellectual
conservatism in America, was the author of more than thirty books,
including The Conservative Mind, Eliot and His Age, and The Roots
of American Order. His legacy lives on in the work of the Russell
Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal, based at his ancestral home in
Mecosta, Michigan.
Wilfred M. McClay is the G. T. and Libby Blankenship Chair
in the History of Liberty at the University of Oklahoma. His book
Land of Hope, a one-volume history of America, has drawn widespread
acclaim; the Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger calls it "the
most balanced, nuanced history of the United States I have read in
the past fifty years." McClay is also the author of The
Masterless: Self and Society in Modern America, which the
Organization of American Historians honored as that year’s best
book in American intellectual history.
