The first volume of a new biography of Edmund Burke (1730-97), one of the most profound, versatile, and accomplished thinkers of the eighteenth century. A writer and philosopher as well as an active politician (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 exercised a profound posthumous influence as `the father of conservatism'.
