Focusing on the often-overlooked conservative strands in American literature, this book examines the works of notable writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Flannery O'Connor, and V.S. Naipaul. It highlights the traditionalist themes present in their writings and draws on the theories of influential thinkers such as Lewis P. Simpson and Roger Scruton.
