FORGOTTEN CLASSICS:
Localism, Nationalism, and Chesterton’s First Novel

How do localism and nationalism fit together? How do each of these philosophical approaches to place use and abuse the innate noble feeling of patriotism? Over the course of Chesterton’s story, we are challenged to confront these questions and answer how we ought to live.

Piety and Polemic

Islamic apologetics have, somewhat contradictorily, tended to ally themselves with a secular, Western academic drive to denigrate European culture and Christendom.

A New Year for Russian Modernism

Interested readers should know that, in what is billed as “the return of one of the greatest pianists of our time” spanning from Beethoven’s “Appassionata” and Chopin’s “Third Sonata,” Yefim Bronfman will perform a piano recital at the Teatro Auditorium Manzoni in Bologna on February 28, 2022.

Of Conquerors and Conquered

This new book by a senior lecturer at the University of St. Andrews is a bracing, short but expansive, study of poetic expressions of the fall of two fabled civilizations.

Activism as Satire

Political satire is at its best when it transcends the limitations of partisan thinking. “Don’t Look Up” fails to do this.

“Let’s go through the present as through the desert”

From the desert of modernity, there is a path, and that is the path of tradition and return—as in the soul’s return to God.

A Sentimental Ode to Adolescence

If de Beauvoir’s elders can be accused of mistaking repression for virtue, then she and her intellectual peers were blind to the fact that over-indulgence is not freedom, but, instead, ranks among the most irresponsible forms of neglect.

Refusing to ‘Celebrate Diversity’:
A Christian Case for Religious Freedom for All

The phony ‘tolerance of relativism’ must inexorably and unavoidably translate in practice into what it really is: the most implacable, ferocious intolerance.

FORGOTTEN CLASSICS:
Virtue in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park

The novel is compelling (even spellbinding at times)—and if it is called antiquated, it is only because we have forgotten that the oldest human battle is the worthiest one: the battle to achieve and maintain virtue in a fallen world.

History Un-Whigged

Roberts does not refrain from criticising George, both for his political missteps and for his tendency to be slow in acknowledging them. But overall, Roberts has painted a masterful portrait of a patriotic, diligent and cultivated monarch who was periodically struck down by mental illness, worst of all during the tragic last decade of his life.
