Product Description Neither a polemic nor a highly specialized study, this book is a comprehensive assessment of Burkes political thought. Using evidence from such neglected sources as Burkes essays on history and law and making full use of his extensive correspondence, the author places Burke in the context of developments in a number of areas of eighteenthcentury British intellectual life, ranging from philosophy to literature, and presents him as a key figure in the evolution of the theory and practice of representative government. Review The most noteworthy feature is the rich documentation both from the whole gamut of Burkes writings and speeches and from a wide variety of relevant secondary sources, in the areas both of political theory and eighteenthcentury history. Frederick G. Whelan, University of PittsburghConniff excels at contextualizing not only Burke, but also his own interpretation of Burke. He places Burke skillfully and knowledgeably within both the political and intellectual debates of Burkes day. On the other hand, he carves out a secure niche for himself within the framework of contemporary interpretative controversies, supporting his position with a comprehensive, sensitive reading of Burke. Furthermore, he graciously but effectively undermines prevailing orthodoxies in the Burke Industrymost notably, the naturallaw school of interpretation. This is an impressive display of conscientious scholarship, rigorous argument, and intellectual independence. Steven Dworetz, Wheaton College From the Back Cover The most noteworthy feature is the rich documentation both from the whole gamut of Burke's writings and speeches and from a wide variety of relevant secondary sources, in the areas both of political theory and eighteenthcentury history.
