eBook Description: How has Edmund Burke (1729-97)--an outstanding Whig politician who defended the House of Commons against royal domination and who was associated with many progressive causes (including the emancipation of slaves, Irish Catholics and American colonists)--gone down in history as an icon of the right? The answer lies in Reflections on the Revolution in France, which was first published in 1790; this BHD edition offers an accessible and accurate new setting of the Seventh Edition (also 1790). Anticipating the disorder yet to come and the rise to power of a military ruler, Burke mounts a searing attack on the radicalism of the revolution which had begun the previous year, and which he contrasts with Britain's Glorious Revolution of 1688. With remorseless vigour he calls into question the principles, methods and capabilities of the revolutionaries and establishes his critique as the manifesto of the counter-revolution.
