As a member of the House of Commons during the late eighteenth century, Burke shook Parliament with his powerful defense of the American Revolution and the rights of persecuted Catholics in England and Ireland; his indictment of the English rape of the Indian subcontinent; and, most famously, his denouncement of English Jacobin sympathizers during the French Revolution. <br> <br><i>The Portable Edmund Burke</i> is the fullest one-volume survey of Burke's thought, with sections devoted to his writings on history and culture, politics and society, the American Revolution, Ireland, colonialism and India, and the French Revolution. This volume also includes excerpts from his letters and an informative Introduction surveying Burke's life, ideas, and his reception and influence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. 111314 2 7 1999 The Portable Edmund Burke (The Viking Portable Library) total:10|5:4|4:6| 10 44 30 1 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 11:03:14 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 11 17:17:10 -0800 2009
