Emily Jones

Edmund Burke and the Invention of Modern Conservatism, 1830-1914: A British Intellectual History

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Edmund Burke, eighteenth-century Irishman and politician, was no 'C/conservative', yet 'Burkean conservatism' is seen as the core of modern C/conservatism. For the first time, this volume shows how Burke's legacy was transformed over the course of the nineteenth century to create one of our most significant theories of modern politics and thought.
