You have produced one, a real service to the profession! Great introduction and bibliography.'-Professor Brian E.

About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Written for a generation presented with challenges of terrible proportions-the Industrial, American, and French Revolutions, to name the most obvious-Burke's Reflections of the Revolution in France displays an acute awareness of how high political stakes can be, as well as a keen ability to set contemporary problems within a wider context of political theory.

This new and up-to-date edition of a book that has been central to political philosophy, history, and revolutionary thought for two hundred years offers readers a dire warning of the consequences that follow the mismanagement of change.
