Restoring The Meaning of Conservatism: Writings from Modern Age
( Restoring the Meaning of Conservatism collects those wr...)
Restoring the Meaning of Conservatism collects those writings of eminent literary scholar and critic George A. Panichas which appeared in the quarterly Modern Age between 1965 and 2005. Panichas became the editor of Modern Age, founded by Russell Kirk in 1957, in 1982. Both before and after that date, he has labored in his writing to act as a “conservator” of traditionalist intellectual, religious, literary, educational, and philosophical values. This collection provides a bulwark for standards of discrimination anchored in the virtues of sincerity and dignity, amply conveying the compelling character of Panichas’s moralist criticism and its relevance to the ongoing crisis of the West.

The Critic as Conservator: Essays in Literature, Society, and Culture (Essays in Literature, Society & Culture)
(This volume brings to completion the trilogy George A. Pa...)
This volume brings to completion the trilogy George A. Panichas began to write more than 30 years ago. "The Reverent Discipline", "The Courage of Judgment" and this new collection are all critiques not only of literature and criticism but also of society and culture. Writing from the tradition of what Edmund Burke calls "the dissidence of dissent", Panichas combines moral commitment and polemical fervour to diagnose the crisis of modernity. The overall tone of these essays is urgent, censorious and combative, as the author assiduously interconnects the needs of religion, the quality of leadership, the thought of great writers, the current plight of the humanities and the structure of politics. He does not fear controversy when he assigns blame or when he cites lapses that separate society from its metaphysical moorings and religious tradition. Throughout, the critic views contemporary life as being in a state of emergency; the reader in turn views the critic as being under arms and under fire. Essays like "The Christ of Simone Weil", "'The New York Times' and Eric Voegelin", "Henry James and Paradigms of Character", "The Incubus of Deconstruction", "Metaphors of Virtue", and "Conservatism, Change and the Life of the Spirit", indicate the range of a generalist who speaks out on issues of acute significance. The unifying principle informing these essays is the insistence that the critic's mission is to conserve universal values and truths in a world of flux and confusion. Panichas' conservatism is one of conservation, anchored firmly in the belief that there are enduring things to defend and save. This collection of writings should challenge all readers concerned with moral disarray and spiritual barrenness in modern times.

Joseph Conrad: His Moral Vision
(This book seeks to renew interest in Joseph Conrad's mora...)
This book seeks to renew interest in Joseph Conrad's moral imagination. Not literary theory but the dignity of creative literature impels the author's reflections on Conrad's novels in their ?varied shades of moral significance.? In illuminating interpretations the author focuses on the consequences of moral darkness and moral warfare as he proceeds to uncover Conrad's basic ideas and meaning. The book shows that morality in Conrad's work is not reducible to an absolute category but must be apprehended in the forms of both moral crises and the possibility of moral recovery enacted in their complexity and tensions. Guiding a reader's travels to the furthest realms of Conrad's imagination so as to penetrate to the heart of the novelist's moral vision is one of the author's dominant aims. These travels take the reader to The Secret Agent, Lord Jim, Victory, Under Western Eyes, Chance, and The Rover. It also contains a new chapter on the Heart of Darkness.
