This study develops a detailed reading of the interrelations
between aesthetics, ideology, language, gender and political
economy in two highly influential works by Edmund Burke: his
Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime
and the Beautiful (1757), and the Reflections on the Revolution in
France (1790). Tom Furniss's close attention to the rhetorical
labyrinths of these texts is combined with an attempt to locate
them within the larger discursive networks of the period, including
texts by Locke, Hume and Smith. This process reveals that Burke's
contradictions and inconsistencies are symptomatic of a strenuous
engagement with the ideological problems endemic to the period.
Burke's dilemma in this respect makes the Reflections an audacious
compromise which simultaneously defends the ancien regime,
contributes towards the articulation of radical thought, and makes
possible the revolution which we call English Romanticism.
