Although Conservative parties did not exist in Germany until after the Napoleonic Wars, there did emerge, around 1770, traceable organized political activity and intellectual currents of a clearly Conservative character. The author argues that this movement developed as a response to the challenge of the Enlightenment in the fields of religion, socioeconomic affairs, and politics- and that this response antedated the impact of the French Revolution. Believing that Conservatism cannot be treated properly as a specialized phenomenon, or simply as an intellectual movement, Professor Epstein correlates it with the political and social forces of the time.Originally published in 1966.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Since the Tea Party exploded onto the American political scene, it has matured and changed, but the differences that now exist within the movement are largely unacknowledged. A more nuanced understanding is called for. Previous treatises have sought explanations for the rise of the movement and focused primarily on its early days. This book, in contrast, focuses on understanding the diversity within the party, challenging the notion that the Tea Party is a homogeneous political movement defined mainly by its ultra-conservatism, regionalism, and rigid political orthodoxy.

Der nach 1918 in Deutschland formierte Nationalismus der Konservativen Revolution hat wesentlich zur Aushöhlung und schließlichen Beseitigung der Weimarer Republik beigetragen. Die Motive dieser vielgestaltigen rechtsoppositionellen Bewegung speisten sich, so zeigt diese Studie, nicht primär aus der Frontstellung zur Republik. Bereits das späte Kaiserreich war von Protest- und Reformbewegungen durchzogen, in denen politisches Aufbegehren junger Intellektueller in einem ästhetischen Horizont formuliert wurde. Die sinkende Geltung des Bürgertums und die Fragwürdigkeit der "Bildung" in Zeiten der Industrialisierung verdichteten sich dabei zu einer Problematik der bürgerlichen Lebensform. Diese Vorgaben nahm der "Ring"-Kreis, die jungkonservative Bewegung mit der größten politischen und gesellschaftlichen Resonanz, auf. Wie sich aus der Kaiserzeit stammende Motive, Diskurselemente und Gesellungsformen im politischen Netzwerk des "Rings" umsetzten, wie ausgewählter Nachwuchs einer besonderen Eliteschulung unterzogen wurde und wie der "Ring" sich unter den etablierten Eliten Deutschlands verankerte, wird in diesem Buch dargestellt. Es schließt mit einem Ausblick auf das Fortleben von Elementen der "Ring"-Ideologie im Widerstand gegen das Dritte Reich - das als Umsturz der Republik auch das Scheitern des "Rings" war.

By exploring the scandal-filled lives of four Oklahomans, this book demonstrates how unqueering operates in a conservative American context. Carol Mason weaves a story about how homogenizing, antigay ideas evolve from generation to generation so that they achieve particular economic, imperial, racial, and gendered goals. Using engaging and accessible commentary on antigay crusaders (Sally Kern and Anita Bryant) and two queer teachers dismissed from their positions (Billy James Hargis and Bruce Goff), Mason illustrates how the lives of these figures represent paradigmatic moments in conservative confrontations with queers and help us to understand the conflation of terrorism with homosexuality, which dates back to the McCarthy era.
