In The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke, David Bromwich sets aside the conventional views of Burke--the eloquent opponent of radical ideology--to track the formation of his outlook and explore his early career... The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke most of all reminds us that Burke's understanding of the moral psychology guiding politics sprang from his engagement with both ideas and practical questions. Certainly a better grasp of Burke's early thought and the political turmoil of his time will prepare us for a fuller understanding of his response to the dramatic events of the late 18th century--not least, the outbreak of the revolution in France and the implications Burke saw for England and for liberty itself., [ Bromwich ] gives us a figure who may be unknown to readers familiar with Burke only from 'Reflections on the Revolution in France' or his reputation as modern conservatism's founding father. Bromwich's Burke is one for whom 'ordinary feelings such as trust, though they have a Christian correlative, themselves supply a sufficient groundwork of moral conduct.' Burke is moved more by a universal sympathy for human struggle than by religion or patriotism... Though his attention throughout is on Burke's moral psychology, Bromwich also highlights the literary character of his thought, including his debts to Milton and Shakespeare... In Burke's politics there was room alike for elite rule and street demonstrations of the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street variety. This balance of familiar and strange, Burke's enlightened humanity and his intricate understanding of power, make him well deserving of the extensive treatment he has lately received--and especially of the justice David Bromwich has rendered him in showing Edmund Burke in the most unexpected of lights., The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke shows, in a very enlightening way, how Burke returns over and over to the theme of the relations between a politician and 'the people' and the gradual hardening of his insistence that while popular views must be taken account of, they must not determine how a conscientious politician acts. Bromwich reads Burke with care and depth and displays a range of learning and insights. His approach to Burke as a moralist in public life is original., Edmund Burke was famed for weaving into arguments like a serpent; David Bromwich displays equal finesse, skill, and relentlessness in moving through the complexities and sheer volume of Burke's writings. The drive, fluency, and intelligence of Bromwich's analysis allow the reader to see Burke as that rare animal, a prime thinker who was also a practicing politician, a man caught up in a time when both varieties of democracy and new forms of empire were violently and contentiously on the rise., All good biographies are called magisterial, but David Bromwich 's The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke: From the Sublime and Beautiful to American Independence actually merits the adjective. Edmund Burke was a rare figure: a working politician who was also one of the great thinkers of his, or any, time... Bromwich's book, the first in a two-part biography, does justice to both the politics and the thought, showing how Burke's principles--a hatred of violence and a love of liberty--emerged from political and historical circumstances. Meticulous in its research and elegant in style, The Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke is a masterpiece of intellectual history., Magisterial... It is the best in-depth, comprehensive recent analysis of Burke's thought--plus it is an enjoyable read... Bromwich 's work reveals a Burke who is politically principled and (more or less) philosophically consistent, but who does not conform conveniently to our present-day conceptions of right or left.

Synopsis
David Bromwich's portrait of statesman Edmund Burke (1730-1797) is the first biography to attend to the complexity of Burke's thought as it emerges in both the major writings and private correspondence. The public and private writings cannot be easily dissociated, nor should they be. For Burke-a thinker, writer, and politician-the principles of politics were merely those of morality enlarged. Bromwich reads Burke's career as an imperfect attempt to organize an honorable life in the dense medium he knew politics to be. This intellectual biography examines the first three decades of Burke's professional life. His protest against the cruelties of English society and his criticism of all unchecked power laid the groundwork for his later attacks on abuses of government in India, Ireland, and France. Bromwich allows us to see the youthful skeptic, wary of a social contract based on "nature"; the theorist of love and fear in relation to "the sublime and beautiful"; the advocate of civil liberty, even in the face of civil disorder; the architect of economic reform; and the agitator for peace with America. However multiple and various Burke's campaigns, a single-mindedness of commitment always drove him. Burke is commonly seen as the father of modern conservatism. Bromwich reveals the matter to be far more subtle and interesting. Burke was a defender of the rights of disfranchised minorities and an opponent of militarism. His politics diverge from those of any modern party, but all parties would be wiser for acquaintance with his writing and thoughts., David Bromwich's portrait of statesman Edmund Burke (1730-1797) is the first biography to attend to the complexity of Burke's thought as it emerges in both the major writings and private correspondence.
