A collection of the shorter writings of Richard M. Weaver. Included are 11 unpublished essays and speeches that were left in near-final form at the time of Weaver's death in 1963. In all, there are some 126 essays, speeches, book reviews and editorials. The writings are organized into eight sections: Life and Family; The Critique of Modernity; Education; Rhetoric and Sophistic; The Humanities, Literature and Language; Politics; History; and The South. An introduction that reflects his larger work on a biography of Weaver, Professor Smith assesses Weaver's place in modern thought, and points out that publication of a whole new body of Weaver's writings will require a fundamental appraisal of the author's range and depth.
