On the Sublime and Beautiful (Dodo Press) Edmund III Burke

Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher who, after relocating to Great Britain, served for many years in the British House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his support of the American colonies in the dispute with King George III and Britain that led to the American Revolution and for his strong opposition to the French Revolution. The latter made Burke one of the leading figures within the conservative faction of the Whig party (which he dubbed the "Old Whigs"), in opposition to the pro-French-Revolution "New Whigs", led by Charles James Fox. Burke also published a philosophical work where he attempted to define emotions and passions, and how they are triggered in a person. Burke worked on aesthetics and founded the Annual Register, a political review. He is widely regarded as the philosophical founder of Anglo- American conservatism. His works include: A Vindication of Natural Society (1756), On the Sublime and the Beautiful (1756), Observations on "the Present State of the Nation" (1769), Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (1770) and Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790).
