Opis

Volume III of the acclaimed scholarly edition of The Writings and Speeches of Edmund Burke continues the story of Burke, the Rockingham party of Whigs to which he adhered, and the American crisis. Burke had already established himself as a master of debate and an accomplished writer in the early 1770s; by the end of the decade he was recognized as one of the greatest parliamentarians of the age.

Recenzje

since 1981, the Clarendon Press has been publishing Burke's writings and speeches under the overall editorship of Paul Langford ... No one reading these genuinely engrossing volumes can doubt the calibre of Burke's mind, the power of his language, or the enduring pungency of his political comment. ... There is an enormous even surprising amount to be learnt ... from a scrupulous reading of Elofson and Wood's edition of the speeches and writings of 1774-80.
