 About
Ian Crowe
Ian Crowe is a Senior Fellow of the Russell Kirk Center and Senior
Editor of The University Bookman. He is also the director
of the Edmund Burke Society of America.
Ian is an academic tutor, lecturer, and writer, specializing in
the work of the eighteenth-century Irish politician and thinker
Edmund Burke, the father of modern intellectual conservatism. He
also writes and lectures on the wider history of the development
of British and American conservative thought since the French Revolution.
His publications include The
Enduring Edmund Burke, Unwelcome Truths, “The Hereditary
Peerage: a Voice in and for Rural Britain” in Another Country,
and a number of articles and reviews in Modern Age, The Civil
War Book Review, and Conference and Common Room. He is
the editor of Reflections, the quarterly newsletter of The
Edmund Burke Society in England and now also the Edmund Burke Society
of America.
Ian is also editing a series of pamphlets on “Conservative
Thinkers” designed to increase access to central texts of political
and social thought among students and the wider public. In his own
research, he is pursuing a comparative study of contemporary American
and British conservatism and completing a pamphlet—Edmund
Burke and the Politics of Common Sense—for the “Conservative
Thinkers” series.
Ian is concerned to make Burke’s contributions recognizable
to young scholars and conservatives. His efforts to move Burke studies
on from the ideologically driven debates of the Cold War period
are in the spirit of the invigorating Burke scholarship of such
figures as Kirk, Stanlis, and Canavan, and help ensure that Burke’s
thought remains vital and accessible to future generations.
Before his recent move with his wife to Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
he was resident in Mecosta and also served as program director for
the Kirk Center.
