Conservative strands in American literature are often overlooked in university courses. 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, James Agee, Flannery O'Connor, 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 significant aspect of American literature.
Jeffrey J. Folks has taught literature in Europe, America, and Japan, most recently as professor of letters in the graduate school of Doshisha University. His articles on American literature and culture have appeared in Modern Age, Southern Literary Journal, and Papers on Language and Literature, among other journals.
