Edmund Burkes Reflections on the Revolution in France is one of the major texts in the western intellectual tradition. This book describes Burkes political and intellectual world, stressing the importance of the idea of property in Burkes thought. It then focuses more closely on Burkes personal and political situation in the late 1780s to explain how the Reflections came to be written. The central part of the study discusses the meaning and interpretation of the work. In the last part of the book the author surveys the pamphlet controversy which the Reflections generated, paying particular attention to the most famous of the replies, Tom Paines Rights of Man. It also examines the subsequent reputation of the Reflections from the 1790s to the modern day, noting how often Burke has fascinated even writers who have disliked his politics.

General Editors Preface
Each volume in this series is devoted to a single major text. It is intended for serious students and teachers of literature, and for knowledgeable non-academic readers. It aims to provide a scholarly introduction and a stimulus to critical thought and discussion.
Individual volumes will naturally differ from one another in arrangement and emphasis, but each will normally begin with information on a works literary and intellectual background, and other guidance designed to help the reader to an informed understanding. This is followed by an extended critical discussion of the work itself, and each contributor in the series has been encouraged to present in these sections his own reading of the work, whether or not this is controversial, rather than to attempt a mere consensus. Some volumes, including those on Paradise Lost and Ulysses, vary somewhat from the more usual pattern by entering into substantive critical discussion at the outset, and allowing the necessary background material to emerge at the points where it is felt to arise from the argument in the most useful and relevant way. Each volume also contains a historical survey of the works critical reputation, including an account of the principal lines of approach and areas of controversy, and a selective (but detailed) bibliography.
The hope is that the volumes in this series will be among those which a university teacher would normally recommend for any serious study of a particular text, and that they will also be among the essential secondary texts to be consulted in some scholarly investigations. But the experienced and informed non-academic reader has also been in our minds, and one of our aims has been to provide him with reliable and stimulating works of reference and guidance, embodying the present state of knowledge and opinion in a conveniently accessible form.

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank the General Editor of the series, Professor Claude Rawson, for the invitation to embark on what proved an exciting book to write. The completed work benefited in a number of ways from his invaluable suggestions and advice. A Special Project Grant from the University of Queensland helped meet the cost of a visit to England to undertake research. I am grateful to Olive, Countess Fitzwilliams Wentworth Settlement Trustees and to the Director of Libraries and Information Services, Sheffield, for permission to consult the Burke papers among the Wentworth Woodhouse Muniments in the Sheffield City Libraries. I owe a number of particular improvements to the suggestions of Ian Higgins and Chris Tiffin, who read parts of the book in typescript.
