Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke The French Revolution, 1790-1794

This is the first edition of Burke's famous Reflections on the Revolution in France to appear for twenty years. No edition of his other writings on the Revolution has appeared for almost a century. In these years, the background against which Burke wrote has been much studied, throwing new light on his motives for commentating on France, and the reasons why his writings were both widely read and widely rejected. Published two hundred years after the outbreak of the French Revolution, this edition shows that the issues raised by the most influential commentaries on that Revolution have yet to be resolved.Burke, Edmund is the author of 'Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke The French Revolution, 1790-1794', published 1990 under ISBN 9780198224228 and ISBN 0198224222.
