Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France was the first
sustained theoretical critique of the French Revolution; and is now
recognised as the classic statement of modern conservatism.
Reflections surveys the British political culture of
traditionalism, gradualism and deference, and contrasts it with the
French Revolutionaries' programme of appeal to abstract right,
transformational change and popular agency. Ultimately Burke
advocated a counterrevolutionary war and the restoration of the
French monarchy. This accessible new edition brings together for
the first time Burke's first and last published thoughts on the
revolution including as it does the first Letter on a Regicide
Peace; a work that has contributed to a particular view of
international society. Featuring a comprehensive introduction and
extensive annotations, Iain Hampsher-Monk's edition helps readers
new to Burke to better understand the historical, political and
philosophical context behind his writings, and the significance of
contemporary and classical allusions.
