Publisher Synopsis
With this fine volume, Professor Lock brings to a conclusion his distinguished biography of one of the most important political thinkers of eighteenth-century Europe...impressive...an outstanding study, which will for the foreseeable future remain the standard authority on Burke's career. It has the merits of lucidity, accessibility and depth of learning, and it leaves historians very much in its author's debt. G.M. Ditchfield, The English Historical Review F.P. Lock's monumental biography...involve a full exposition of his political philosophy...he has immersed himself in the manuscripts, editions and variants of Burke's writings to chart the development of his views. Chris Jones British Association for Romantic Studies [A] 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.
