Publisher Synopsis
Professor Lock gives us the first volume of what promises to be an important biography. Derek Jarrett, LRB 17/2/00 meticulous and massive biography ... Helped by the bedrock of collected scholarly editions of Burke's letters, writings and speeches, he can raise this splendid monument. Refreshingly free of jargon and interpretative whimsies - he nods ritually to "otherness and alienation" only once - this is a study which will endure.
