However, Daniel O'Neill turns that latter belief on its head. This fresh and innovative book shows that Burke was a passionate supporter and staunch defender of the British Empire in the eighteenth century, whether in the New World, India, or Ireland. Moreover-and against a growing body of contemporary scholarship that rejects the very notion that Burke was an exemplar of conservatism-O'Neill demonstrates that Burke's defense of empire was in fact ideologically consistent with his conservative opposition to the French Revolution. Burke's logic of empire relied on two opposing but complementary theoretical strategies: Ornamentalism, which stressed cultural similarities between "civilized" societies, as he understood them, and Orientalism, which stressed the putative cultural differences distinguishing "savage" societies from their "civilized" counterparts. This incisive book also shows that Burke's argument had lasting implications, as his development of these two justifications for empire prefigured later intellectual defenses of British imperialism. 410 0$aBerkeley series in British studies ;$v10. 606 $aImperialism$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y18th century 610 $a18th century british empire. 610 $a18th century imperialism. 610 $abritish colonialism. 610 $abritish history. 610 $abritish political thought. 610 $aburkes defense of empire. 610 $acivilized societies. 610 $acultural differences. 610 $acultural similarities. 610 $afounding father of conservatism. 610 $afrench revolution. 610 $alogic of empire. 610 $amodern conservatism. 610 $aorientalism. 610 $aornamentalism. 610 $aothering. 610 $apolitical philosophy. 610 $apolitics and government of great britain. 610 $asavage societies. 615 0$aImperialism 676 $a325/.32 700 $aO'Neill$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01515879 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798040603321 996 $aEdmund Burke and the Conservative Logic of Empire$93751936 997 $aUNINA
