Patriotism and Public Spirit: Edmund Burke and the Role of the Critic in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Britain
Ian CroweThis study presents a radically fresh understanding of the intellectual formation and early literary career of the Irish-English statesman Edmund Burke by innovatively connecting the two key sites of Burke's pre-political career, Dublin and London, through Patriot debates over how the powers of a burgeoning press might be used to criticize and expose existing authority without jeopardizing order.
