Edmund Burke ranks among the most accomplished orators ever to
debate in the British Parliament. But often his eloquence has been
seen to compromise his achievements as a political thinker. In the
first full-length account of Burke's rhetoric, Bullard argues that
Burke's ideas about civil society, and particularly about the
process of political deliberation, are, for better or worse, shaped
by the expressiveness of his language. Above all, Burke's eloquence
is designed to express ethos or character. This rhetorical
imperative is itself informed by Burke's argument that the
competency of every political system can be judged by the ethical
knowledge that the governors have of both the people that they
govern and of themselves. Bullard finds the intellectual roots of
Burke's 'rhetoric of character' in early modern moral and aesthetic
philosophy, and traces its development through Burke's
parliamentary career to its culmination in his masterpiece,
Reflections on the Revolution in France.
