Description

This abridgement of Reflections on the Revolution in France preserves the dynamism of Edmund Burke's polemic while excising a number of detail-laden passages that are of less interest to modern readers.

Brian R. Clack's introduction offers a compelling overview of the text and explores the consistency and coherence of Burke's views on revolution.

Burke's critique of revolutionary politics is illuminated further by the extensive supplementary materials collected in a number of themed appendices.

These include a selection of background material essential for an understanding of the Reflections, an overview of Burke's response to the American Revolution, a sampling of his earliest and later views on the French Revolution, selections from Burke's writings on reform, passages from A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly, and a representative sampling of contemporary critical responses to the Reflections.
