Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsidered
"If you are not a Burke scholar…Edmund Burke: A Genius Reconsideredmust be read first."—The World & I"This is the liveliest and most accessible one-volume biography of Edmund Burke."—The Bookwatch“Kirk’s scholarship is wide-ranging . . . and of course he brings to bear his close knowledge of the vast array of modern Burke scholarship. [His] . . . book is both elegant and eloquent, and it helps to fill a real need. ”—Jeffrey Hart,National Review“[T]he book serves as a good short introduction to Burke’s life and throught.”—Library Journal “No one knows more about Burke or writes of him with as much authority as did  Russell Kirk.”—M.D.  Aeschliman,The Wanderer“Edmund  Burkeis 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 in the light of the  vast body of scholarship now available on him.”—G.B. Tennyson,University  Bookman“Only a man of Kirk’s provenance and ambiance  would have been appropriate for the job—to reassert, by way of Burke, ‘the  natural law tradition [against] the positivism, nominalism and scientific  materialism of modern liberal thought,’ as Carl Cone has put it.”—C.P. Ives,Modern  Age--This text refers to thePaperbackedition.
