The public and private writings cannot be easily dissociated, nor should they be. For Burke's "a thinker, writer, and politician." The principles of politics were merely those of morality enlarged. Bromwich reads Burke's career as an imperfect attempt to organize an honorable life in the dense medium he knew politics to be. This intellectual biography examines the first three decades of Burke's professional life. His protest against the cruelties of English society and his criticism of all unchecked power laid the groundwork for his later attacks on abuses of government in India, Ireland, and France. Bromwich allows us to see the youthful skeptic, wary of a social contract based on "nature," the theorist of love and fear in relation to "the sublime and beautiful," the advocate of civil liberty, even in the face of civil disorder; the architect of economic reform; and the agitator for peace with America. 000718230 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000718230 60010 $$aBurke, Edmund,$$d1729-1797. 000718230 650_0 $$aStatesmen$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 000718230 650_0 $$aPolitical scientists$$zGreat Britain$$vBiography. 000718230 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y18th century. 000718230 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBromwich, David, 1951-$$tIntellectual life of Edmund Burke.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2014$$z9780674729704$$w(DLC) 2013037807$$w(OCoLC)861478447 000718230 8520_ $$bacq 000718230 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000718230 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3301443$$zOnline Access 000718230 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:718230$$pGLOBAL_SET 000718230 980__ $$aEBOOK 000718230 980__ $$aBIB 000718230 982__ $$aEbook 000718230 983__ $$aOnline
