Burke's seminal work was written during the early months of the French
Revolution, and it predicted with uncanny accuracy many of its worst excesses,
including the Reign of Terror. A scathing attack on the revolution's attitudes
to existing institutions, property and religion, it makes a cogent case for
upholding inherited rights and established customs, argues for piecemeal reform
rather than revolutionary change - and deplores the influence Burke feared the
revolution might have in Britain. Reflections on the Revolution in France is now
widely regarded as a classic statement of conservative political thought, and is
one of the eighteenth century's great works of political rhetoric.
