Description:

Synopsis:

The purpose of this study is to promote rediscovery and reevaluation of Joseph de Maistre by providing translations of an extensive sampling of recent Maistrian scholarship. Selected from the Revue des etudes maistriennes, these studies offer substantial revisions of the usual textbook characterizations of Maistre. What emerges is a much more nuanced and interesting figure than either the steadfast Church Father of his Catholic apologists or the unscrupulous propagandist of his liberal critics. These studies make it possible to appreciate Maistre's struggles to understand the upheavals of his time, his doubts and hesitations, and his reasons for taking the public positions he chose to take.
