Faithfully reproduced in each volume are E. J. Payne's notes and introductory essays. Francis Canavan, one of the great Burke scholars of the twentieth century, has added forewords. Volume 2 consists of Burke's most renowned work, "Reflections on the Revolution in France." In it, he excoriates French revolutionary leaders for recklessly destroying France's venerable institutions and way of life. He attempts not only to explain the events of the new revolution to his readers but also to persuade them that the revolution menaces the civilization of Europe in general and that of Britain in particular. In addition, he articulates a coherent political countertheory that organizes his own beliefs about God, humanity, and society. This is Burke's most famous work, for over two centuries read, discussed, and pondered by thousands of students and general readers as well as by professional scholars. Francis Canavan (1917-2009) was Professor of Political Science at Fordham University from 1966 until his retirement in 1988.Select Works of Edmund BurkeGreat BritainPolitics and government18th centuryGreat BritainColoniesAmericaFranceHistoryRevolution, 1789-1799Great BritainRelationsFrance320.9033Burke Edmund1729-1797.38256Canavan Francis1917-2009.1851705Payne Edward John1844-1904.1851706MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959452503321Reflections on the revolution in France4477177UNINA
