Description: While Richard M. Weaver is best known for the classic Ideas Have Consequences the foundation of his career was this study of his native South. Calling the Southern tradition "the last non - materialist civilization in the Western world " he traced its roots to feudalism chivalry religiosity and aristocratic conventions. The Old South he concluded "may indeed be a hall hung with splendid tapestries in which no one would care to live; but from them we can learn something of how to live." Weaver's exploration of the ideals and ideas of the Southern tradition as expressed in the military histories autobiographies diaries and novels of the era following the Civil War especially those written by the men and women on the losing side is offered to a new generation of readers for whom that tradition has fallen into disrepute and who can scarcely imagine a life rooted in nature the soil and a powerful sense of honor. The Southern Tradition at Bay is as Jeffrey Hart noted the work of a man who admired what "is admirable indeed and that is the foundation of wisdom and indeed sanity."
