Modern Age (periodical)

Modern Age is an American conservative academic quarterly journal, founded by Russell Kirk in 1957, and published by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute .

With its founding Kirk hoped for "a dignified forum for reflective, traditionalist conservatism," and the magazine has remained one of the voices of intellectual small-"c" conservatism to the present day.

Reflecting the ideals of its founder, in its politics it is traditionalist, localist, against most military interventions, not libertarian, anti-Straussian, and opposed to neoconservatism. In its religious sympathies it adheres to orthodoxy, whether Catholic, Jewish, Orthodox or Protestant.

Modern Age has been described as "the principal quarterly of the intellectual right."
