This text elucidates the definition of "conservative thought". Attitudes towards revolution, liberty and democracy are examined through the work of writers in political and literary genres ranging from Burke and de Tocqueville to Evelyn Waugh and Tom Stoppard. It is contended that within the context of the author's definition of the term both Orwell and Camus can be perceived as conservative thinkers. This book argues that, far from being an oxymoron, the conservative imagination is a valid and rational school of thought.
