There is no better guide to this great British statesman than Russell Kirk. This lively and accessible biography is more than a historic overview of an important thinker, it is an important thinker, it is an unsurpassed introduction to a "politics of prudence."
What They're Saying...
"Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsidered is the very book for the non-specialist and the very book that no specialist will want to be without. It is at once a general introduction to the essence of Burke's thought and a major reassessment of Burke. If this makes Kirk's book sound like a balancing act, then it misleads; the union of the introductory and the advanced here is carried to a degree approaching high art, and strain is nowhere visible. The beginner will get the essence of Burke's life and thought; the specialist will see a practiced Burke hand at work."
— G. B. Tennyson, author, A Carlyle Reader
"If you are not a Burke scholar...Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsidered must be read first."
