This abridgement of Reflections on the Revolution in France
preserves the dynamism of Edmund Burke's polemic while excising a
number of detail-laden passages that are of less interest to modern
readers. Brian R. Clack's introduction offers a compelling overview
of the text and explores the consistency and coherence of Burke's
views on revolution. Burke's critique of revolutionary politics is
illuminated further by the extensive supplementary materials
collected in a number of themed appendices. These include a
selection of background material essential for an understanding of
the Reflections, an overview of Burke's response to the American
Revolution, a sampling of his earliest and later views on the
French Revolution, selections from Burke's writings on reform,
passages from A Letter to a Member of the National Assembly, and a
representative sampling of contemporary critical responses to the
Reflections.
