Edmund Burke (1730-1797) was one of the most profound, versatile,
and accomplished thinkers of the eighteenth century. Born and
educated in Dublin, he moved to London to study law, but remained
to make a career in English politics, completing A Philosophical
Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful
(1757) before entering the political arena. A Member of Parliament
for nearly thirty years, his speeches are still read and studied as
classics of political thought, and through his best-known work,
Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) he has continued to
exercise a posthumous influence as "the father of conservatism."
In this, the first of two volumes, F.P. Lock covers the years
between 1730-1784, and describes Burke's Irish upbringing and
education, early writing, and his parliamentary career throughout
the momentous years of the American War of Independence. Lavishly
illustrated, the book provides an authoritative account of the
complexity and breadth of Burke's philosophical and political
writing and examines its origins in his personal experiences and
the political world of his day.
