- This is a 500,000-word single-authored monograph based on original research undertaken over twenty years into the thought and career of the statesman and enlightenment thinker Edmund Burke. It is based on a substantial array of demanding printed works - covering complex figures including Montesquieu, Rousseau, Hume and Smith - as well as a large volume of parliamentary sources, personal correspondence, manuscripts, and archival materials. Archives were consulted in Dublin, London, Oxford, Cambridge, Sheffield, Northamptonshire, Munich, Paris, Yale, the Huntington, Providence, and UCLA. Unlike previous studies, this work combines richly detailed intellectual and political context, overturning previous scholarly consensus.
