Yet his responses to specific problems - rebellion in America, the abuse of power in India and Ireland, or revolution in France - incorporated theoretical debates within jurisprudence, economics, religion, moral philosophy and political science. Moreover, the extraordinary rhetorical force of Burke's speeches and writings quickly secured his reputation as a gifted orator and literary stylist. This Companion provides a comprehensive assessment of Burke's thought, exploring all his major writings from his early treatise on aesthetics to his famous polemic, Reflections on the Revolution in France. It also examines the vexed question of Burke's Irishness and seeks to determine how his cultural origins may have influenced his political views. Finally, it aims both to explain and to challenge interpretations of Burke as a romantic, a utilitarian, a natural law thinker and founding father of modern conservatism.Cambridge companions to literature.Political scienceGreat BritainHistory18th centuryPolitics and literatureGreat BritainHistory18th centurySpeeches, addresses, etc., EnglishHistory and criticismPolitical scienceHistoryPolitics and literatureHistorySpeeches, addresses, etc., EnglishHistory and criticism.824/.6POL010000bisacshDwan DavidInsole Christopher J.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996204514203316The Cambridge companion to Edmund Burke2493818UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
