Conservative strands in American literature are often overlooked on
America's largely liberal university campuses. This book focuses on
the works of conservative American writers and of others who have
written of America from a conservative perspective. Beginning with
the work of Edgar Allan Poe, the book explores the traditionalist
temper in books by Vachel Lindsay, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alfred
Hitchcock, V.S. Naipaul, and Kent Haruf. Drawing on the theories of
Lewis P. Simpson, Leszek Kolakowski, Roger Scruton, and Gertrude
Himmelfarb, among others, this text offers a fresh examination of a
neglected but significant aspect of American culture.
