A growing body of readers is rediscovering Francis Graham Wilson's
tremendous contribution to the study of politics and humane
learning. In this volume, he offers an extensive assessment of the
nature of politics and the search for order in Spanish politics,
concentrating on the central figures who defended the Church and
communities during the Spanish Civil War. The book argues for the
uniqueness of Spain among the other countries of Europe. For
Wilson, the most salutary attribute of Spanish politics is found in
the assemblage of smaller groupings of the citizenry within the
larger society in communities; and it is in the smaller association
that the most important aspects of moral, social and political life
were nurtured. Part 1 includes assessments of three eminent Spanish
traditionalists, Juan Donoso Cortes, Jaime Balmes, and Menendez
Pelayo, as well as studies of central figures from the period of
the Spanish Civil War Jose Antonio and Ramiro de Maeztu. The final
chapters are taken from an unpublished book-length manuscript, "An
Anchor in the Latin Mind," that Wilson had completed at the time of
his death in 1976, and was recently discovered by the editors. For
Wilson, Latin thinkers possess advantages others do not a political
realism that can be reinvigorated. The recovery of Spanish
traditionalism, according to this book, is dependent upon a return
to the self-understanding of the ordering principles of Spanish
politics and society. Wilson's affirmation of a Spanish
traditionalist inheritance during his lifetime encouraged a return
to authentic popular rule and a greater appreciation of Spanish
achievements in politics and the moral life.
