Southern Essays of Richard M. Weaver

Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) was one of the leading figures in the post-World War II development of an intellectual, self-conscious conservatism. His thought & his appreciation of liberty were rooted in his understanding of Southern history. He believed that Southern values of religion, work ethic & family could provide a defense against the totalitarian nihilism of fascist & communist statism. This collection of fourteen essays demonstrates George Core's point that "few writers of the South rival Richard Weaver in comprehensiveness of vision & depth of thought." George M. Curtis, III, is a Senior Fellow of Liberty Fund. James J. Thompson, Jr., is the author of three books.Weaver, Richard M. is the author of 'Southern Essays of Richard M.
