Russell Kirk authored thirty-two books on political theory, the history of ideas, education, cultural criticism, and supernatural tales. Both <\/span>Time <\/span><\/i>and<\/span> Newsweek<\/span><\/i> have described him as one of America\u2019s leading thinkers, and <\/span>The New York Times\u00a0<\/span><\/i>acknowledged the scale of his influence when it wrote that\u00a0Kirk\u2019s 1953 landmark book <\/span>The Conservative Mind<\/span><\/i>\u00a0\u201cgave American conservatives an identity and a genealogy and catalyzed the postwar movement.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kirk and William F. Buckley, Jr., during his visit to Kirk\u2019s home to ask him to write a column for National Review. Called \u201cFrom the Academy,\u201d Kirk\u2019s column on education attracted a national readership for 25 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n


Kirk was born near the railroad yards at Plymouth, Michigan, in 1918 and lived much of his life at his ancestral place, Piety Hill, in the village of Mecosta, Michigan. There he converted a toy factory into his library and built an Italianate house adorned with sculpture and architectural antiques repurposed from demolished buildings in Western Michigan. <\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving his bachelor\u2019s degree from Michigan State College (now University), Kirk studied the politics of John Randolph of Roanoke for his master\u2019s degree at Duke University. Kirk\u2019s research on Randolph\u2019s politics led him to discover the far more powerful thinker, Edmund Burke, whose principles would strongly influence his subsequent thought. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

President Ronald Reagan conferred the Presidential Citizens Medal on Dr. Kirk in 1989.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Following service in the army during World War II, Kirk became an instructor in the history of civilization at Michigan State. He took a leave of absence from teaching to research the history of the principal thinkers of England and America at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. \u00a0The resulting manuscript earned Kirk the highest arts degree, the doctor of letters, from the University of St. Andrews.<\/span><\/p>\n

Henry Regnery published this lengthy work as <\/span>The Conservative Mind<\/span><\/i> in 1953. The book became one of the most widely reviewed and discussed studies of political ideas in America and catapulted Kirk to national prominence. In <\/span>The New York Times Book Review<\/span><\/i>, Gordon Keith Chalmers wrote that \u201cthe author of <\/span>The Conservative Mind<\/span><\/i> is as relentless as his enemies, Karl Marx and Harold Laski, considerably more temperate and scholarly, and in passages of this very readable book, brilliant and even eloquent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Kirk considered the book an intellectual genealogy of great British and American thinkers–such as Edmund Burke, \u00a0John Adams, James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and T. S. Eliot–and demonstrated that a vital and respected conservative tradition was central to the American experience. \u00a0The book has gone through seven editions and continues to be translated into foreign languages to the present day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the success of <\/span>The Conservative Mind<\/span><\/i>, Kirk resigned his teaching post and moved to Mecosta, Michigan, to pursue a career as an independent writer and lecturer. He continued to publish books at a remarkable rate during his long career, \u00a0among them <\/span>Prospects for Conservatives<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>The American Cause<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Academic Freedom<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>The Roots of American Order, Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsidered, Enemies of the Permanent Things, Decadence and Renewal in the Higher Learning, \u00a0America\u2019s British Culture, and The Politics of Prudence<\/span><\/i>. He became widely recognized as a formidable literary and social critic for his book <\/span>Eliot and His Age: \u00a0T. S. Eliot\u2019s Moral Imagination in the Twentieth Century <\/span><\/i>(1971). In addition, he wrote three novels and three volumes of collected short stories and contributed essays and reviews to more than a hundred serious periodicals both in the United States and abroad. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kirk wrote a bi-monthly page on education, \u201cFrom the Academy,\u201d for <\/span>National Review<\/span><\/i> for twenty-five years; and a newspaper column, \u201cTo the Point,\u201d through the Los Angeles Times Syndicate for thirteen years. He was the founding editor of the educational quarterly \u00a0<\/span>The University Bookman<\/span><\/i><\/a>, and of the quarterly\u00a0<\/span>Modern Age, <\/span><\/i>both of which continue today as lively journals of opinion and scholarship. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kirk and Malcolm Muggeridge converse during Muggeridge\u2019s seminar at the Kirk home called \u201cPilgrims in the Dark Wood of our Time.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When not in his library in Mecosta, Dr. Kirk lectured at colleges and conferences around the country on political thought and practice, modern culture, educational theory, literary criticism and social themes. \u00a0He especially enjoyed addressing college audiences, believing strongly that the key to the lasting triumph of conservative ideas lay in shaping the cultural and moral beliefs of the rising generation. He addressed audiences on hundreds of American campuses as well as debated with such well-known speakers as Norman Thomas, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., Eugene McCarthy, Malcolm X, Dick Gregory, and Tom Hayden. Dr. Kirk was visiting professor at several universities in the disciples of history, political thought, humane letters, and journalism. <\/span><\/p>\n

At various times, Kirk was a senior fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies; a Constitutional Fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities; a Fulbright Lecturer in Scotland; a Guggenheim Fellow; and a distinguished scholar of The Heritage Foundation. \u00a0\u00a0The Christopher Award was conferred upon him for\u00a0<\/span>Eliot and His Age<\/span><\/i>, and he received The Ann Radcliffe Award of the Count Dracula Society for his gothic fiction. \u00a0The Third World Fantasy Convention gave him its award for best short fiction for \u201cThere\u2019s a Long, Long Trail a-Winding.\u201d He received the Weaver Award of the Ingersoll Prizes for his scholarly writing. In 1989, President Reagan conferred on him the Presidential Citizens Medal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Kirk outside his library at Piety Hill (1993) where he wrote, held seminars, and guided the many Fellows and visiting students for forty years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For nearly thirty years, Kirk was married to Annette (nee Courtemanche); they had four daughters: Monica, Cecilia, Felicia, and Andrea. Together they hosted refugees from Communist countries, university students, and scholars at their home. The Kirks held frequent seminars at their residence and received several literary interns every year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kirk passed away on April 29, 1994. His own account of his life, <\/span>The Sword of Imagination: Memoirs of a Half Century of Literary Conflict<\/span><\/i>, was published in 1995. His work is continued by The Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n
