Untimely Tracts
Description:
Roger Scruton's articles in the London Times have established his reputation as one the ablest controversialists of his generation. Succinctly argued, vividly expressed, and unfailingly reactionary in tone, these articles have scandalized the intellectual establishment and brought comfort to those of old-fashioned views. Ranging from the eating of fish to the maintenance of motorcycles, from nuclear disarmament to the Anglican liturgy, from the music of Pfitzner to the foundations of social thought, these frank expressions of unfashionable prejudice will give food for thought both to those who agree with them and to those who do not. Whatever your views, you will recognize here a useful identification of the issues which now confront us, and a challenge to the world in which we live.
