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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aPolitical science$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aSpeeches, addresses, etc., English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPolitical science$xHistory 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aSpeeches, addresses, etc., English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a824/.6 686 $aPOL010000$2bisacsh 702 $aDwan$b David 702 $aInsole$b Christopher J. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204514203316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Edmund Burke$92493818 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
