Burke and the Nature of Politics

The Age of the French Revolution Volume 2

Beschreibung

In this second of two volumes, Carl B. Cone demonstrates once again that only through a study of Edmund Burke's active political life can one understand his thought. To Burke's important practical contributions to the art of government made prior to 1782 (Volume I, The Age of the American Revolution) must now be added the extension of his thought to new problems of empire and finally, in more theoretical directions, to the French Revolution, which Burke saw as the greatest crisis in the history

Autor

Carl B. Cone is professor of history at the University of Kentucky. In addition to the two-volume political biography of Edmund Burke, he is the author of Torchbearer of Freedom: The Influence of Richard Price on Eighteenth Century Thought.
