Reflections on the Revolution in France: An Abridgement with Supporting Texts - Paperback

This edition of Burke's classic work of conservatism is abridged for modern readers, and includes numerous related writings offering a coherent picture of Burke's views on revolution.
This abridgement of Reflections on the Revolution in France preserves the dynamism of Edmund Burke's polemic while excising a number of detail-laden passages that may be of less interest to modern readers.

Burke's critique of revolutionary politics is illuminated further by the extensive supplementary materials collected in a number of themed appendices.
