- Research and writing of this 110,000-word monograph took six years, supported by a Research Fellowship at Pembroke College, Cambridge. It offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Whig politician, Edmund Burke, into his position as ‘founder of modern conservatism’ in Britain and Ireland. It draws on an extensive range of published materials, including political speeches, elite texts, literary prose and educational curricula, to offer new insights into the construction of a significant political and intellectual tradition—Burkean conservatism. Note that circa 3,000 words each of chapters 4 and 5 appeared in a 2015 Historical Journal article.
