Roger Scruton is Britain's best known intellectual dissident, who
has defended English traditions and English identity against an
official culture of denigration. Although his writings on
philosophical aesthetics have shown him to be a leading authority
in the field, his defence of political conservatism has marked him
out in academic circles as public enemy number one. Whether it is
Scruton's opinions that get up the nose of his critics, or the wit
and erudition with which he expresses them, there is no doubt that
their noses are vastly distended by his presence, and constantly on
the verge of a collective sneeze. Contrary to orthodox opinion,
however, Roger Scruton is a human being, and Gentle Regrets
contains the proof of it - a quiet, witty but also serious and
moving account of the ways in which life brought him to think what
he thinks, and to be what he is. His moving vignettes of his
childhood and later influences illuminate this book. Love him or
hate him, he will engage you in an argument that is both
intellectually stimulating and informed by humour.
