Edmund Burke's life and work during a transformative historical period are explored in depth, highlighting his engagement with the British Empire, American colonies, and European conflicts. The book reconstructs his advocacy for reform and his critical stance during the French Revolution, using a wide array of sources. It aims to reshape the conventional view of Burke as merely a traditionalist, presenting him instead as a complex figure who navigated the tensions between tradition and progress, prompting a reevaluation of his legacy and influence in the eighteenth century.
