Edmund Burke's analysis of revolutionary change established him as the chief framer of modern European conservative political thought. This outstanding new edition of the Reflections presents Burke's famous text along with a historical introduction by Frank M. Turner and four lively critical essays by leading scholars. The volume sets the Reflections in the context of Western political thought, highlights its ongoing relevance to contemporary debates, and provides abundant critical notes, a glossary, and a glossary-index to ensure its accessibility. Contributors to the book examine various provocative aspects of Burke's thought. Conor Cruise O'Brien explores Burke's hostility to "theory," Darrin McMahon considers Burke's characterization of the French Enlightenment, Jack Rakove contrasts the views of Burke and American constitutional framers on the process of drawing up constitutions, and Alan Wolfe investigates Burke, the social sciences, and liberal democracy. 606 $aPublic opinion$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yRevolution, 1789-1799$xForeign public opinion, British 615 0$aPublic opinion$xHistory 676 $a944.04 700 $aBurke$b Edmund$f1729-1797.$038256 701 $aTurner$b Frank M$g(Frank Miller),$f1944-2010.$01475890 701 $aMcMahon$b Darrin M$0292023 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777808403321 996 $aReflections on the revolution in France$93755759 997 $aUNINA
