The Intellectual Life Of Edmund Burke: From The Sublime And Beautiful To American Independence

This biography of statesman Edmund Burke (1730-1797), covering three decades, is the first to attend to the complexity of Burke's thought as it emerges in both the major writings and private correspondence. David Bromwich reads Burke's career as an imperfect attempt to organize an honorable life in the dense medium he knew politics to be.
