Publisher Synopsis
"Oxford does the student and scholarly world a service by making Reflections available in an affordable edition."--Barbara B. Davis, Antioch College"Print is clear and the price is right."--Dr. V. Lyle Haskins, Northeastern State University"Burke's views are as pertinent today as they were 200 years ago. His comments and criticisms of the French Revolution can be applied to 20th century revolutions. It is interesting that his reflections are echoed by so many revisionist French Revolution historians in the past several years. Thiswork allows students to evaluate the events of the revolution from a different perspective."--Professor Jeanne A. Ojala, University of Utah"I have hoped someday to find a "Reader's Digest" version of Burke. You have produced one, a real service to the profession! Great introduction and bibliography."--Professor Brian E. Strayer, Andrews University"The annotation of this text will be a great help to students. Mitchell's introduction is likewise clear and to the point."--Marilyn Morris, University of North Texas "Oxford does the student and scholarly world a service by making Reflections available in an affordable edition."--Barbara B.
