Edmund Burke British statesman, parliamentary orator and political thinker, played a prominent part in all major political issues for about 30 years after 1765, and remained an important figure in the history of political theory. Burke was Irish, born in Dublin in 1729. His father, a solicitor, was Protestant, his mother Roman Catholic. He entered Trinity college, Dublin, in 1744, and came to London in 1750. Burke's A Vindication of Natural Society was published in 1756 and in 1757 A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful appeared. Also in 1757, Burke married Jane Nugent, the daughter of an Irish Catholic doctor. His political career started in 1765 when he became the private secretary of one of the Whig leaders in Parliament, the marquess of Rockingham. Burke soon proved to be one of the main characters in the constitutional controversy in Britain under George III, who at the time was trying to establish more actual power for the crown. Although the crown had lost some influence under the first two Georges, one of the major political problems in 18th century Britain was the fact that both the king and Parliament had considerable control over the executive. Burke responded to these affairs in his pamphlet Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (1770), in which he argued that although George's actions were legal in the sense that they were not against the letter of the constitution, they were all the more against it in spirit. In the pamphlet Burke elaborates on his famous and new justification of a party, defined as :... a body of men united on public principle, which could act as a constitutional link between king and parliament, providing consistency and strength in administration, or principled criticism in opposition" (...431-32).

A note from A Study Of Our Decline by Philip Atkinson Biographies Edmund Burke Born in Dublin, Edmund Burke was educated at Trinity College there, and studied law at the Middle Temple in London. He first became known for his Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757); in 1765, he became private secretary to the Prime Minister, the Marquess of Rockingham, and an M.P. The intellectual leader of the Rockingham Whigs, with whom he took office briefly in 1782 (he also served in the Fox-North Coalition Ministry of 1783), he became famous as a brilliant, intemperate, and tiresome orator in the House of Commons. There he vigorously supported conciliation with the American colonies (and not merely because he was Agent of the State of New York), economic and administrative reform, and Catholic emancipation. The last years of his life were spent on two great causes: the impeachment and trial of Warren Hastings, who was accused of oppression and the illegal acquisition of enormous wealth as Governor-General of India, and opposition to the French Revolution and the spread of its doctrines in England. Burke is remembered today as an intellectual who distrusted reason, and as a political theorist who condemned theory. Profoundly moved by concrete injustice, he opposed any attempt to alter existing institutions on the basis of abstract principles, or to apply a "delusive geometrical accuracy in moral arguments." The best forms of government, he felt, were based on tradition: they had evolved through, and were tested by, time. This belief is the basis for his analysis of party politics,"

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Edmund Burke: The Death of Marie Antoinette Edmund Burke (1729-1797), born in Dublin, Ireland, was a member of the British House of Commons. After the French Revolution, Burke became an important critic of the Revolution and the effective founder of modern conservative political ideology. Although he had serious reasons for his politics, there is also an element of nostalgia about in his perspectives. In this brief speech he laments the death of the Queen and the passing of an era. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded, and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever. Never, never more, shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart, which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom! The unbought grace of life, the cheap defense of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise is gone. It is gone, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honor, which felt a stain like a wound, which inspired courage whilst it mitigated ferocity, which ennobled whatever it touched, and under which vice itself lost half its evil, by losing all its grossness.

Edmund Burke Burke's last years were perhaps his most influential. He denounced the French Revolution, advised the prime minister William Pitt the Younger, and became a bitter enemy of his old friends in the Whig party. His most famous piece, Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), was a forceful attack on the principles of the Revolution; although extravagantly expressed, it made him the international apostle of counterrevolution, and in some measure the founder of the modern conservative tradition.

In 1750, he entered the Middle Temple, London, but Burke soon abandoned law for literary work. In 1756 he published, anonymously, A Vindication of Natural Society . In 1765 he became the private secretary to Marquis of Rockingham, who at that time, but only for a year thereafter, was premier. Burke soon entered parliament, as a Whig, through a pocket borough, Wendover. During most all of his years as a parliamentarian, Burke was to sit in the opposition benches as a critic to the ruling Tories. These were times of great historical importance, marked by the unsuccessful coercion of the American colonies. The event, which was to unfold over a number of years, was, accompanied by corruption, extravagance, and reaction. Against this, Burke and his Whig friends could only raise a strong protest. "The best of Burke's writings and speeches belong to this period, and may be described as a defence of sound constitutional statesmanship against prevailing abuse and misgovernment." After the British colonies were lost, still yet in opposition, Burke turned his great talents in the support of the Irish cause

Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797) A statesman, orator and political thinker, Edmund Burke championed conservatism in opposition to Revolutionary France. Born in Ireland, in 1765 Burke entered Parliament and became active in the hot debate over the crown's powers. Burke pressed for parliamentary control of royal patronage and expenditure, in 1782 becoming closely involved with an act regulating the civil list paid by parliament to the crown. Britain's imposition on America of measures including the Stamp Act in 1765 provoked violent colonial opposition. Burke argued that British policy had been inflexible and called for more pragmatism. He believed that government should be a co-operative relationship between rulers and subjects and that, while the past was important, a willingness to adapt to the inevitability of change could - hopefully - reaffirm traditional values under new circumstances. He also maintained a keen interest in India. He concluded that Indian governmental corruption had to be resolved by removing patronage from interested parties. He proposed that India be governed by independent commissioners in London, but a bill to this end was defeated, prompting impeachment proceedings against Warren Hastings, governor-general of Bengal.

FICHA Nacionalidad: Gran Bretaña Dublín 1729 - 1797 Nacido en 1729, se educó en el seno de una familia protestante. Acudió al Trinity College de Dublín, su ciudad natal, siendo entre 1784 y 1785 profesor y rector de la Universidad de Glasgow. Miembro del partido whig, el ala liberal de la aristocracia británica, criticó a Pitt y Hastings. Fue defensor de la libertad religiosa de los colonos americanos, si bien criticó con dureza los principios democráticos de la Revolución Francesa en su obra "Reflections on the Revolution in France", publicada en 1790. Partidario del pragmatismo político, en su primer escrito, "Vindication of Natural Society", de 1756, critica el racionalismo y la abstracción teórica. En este sentido, postulaba el "principio de intervención", por el cual los Estados estaban legitimados para intervenir en otros Estados si consideraba que en ellos se estaba pervirtiendo el orden natural, dando lugar a la anarquía, la tiranía o el desorden. Teórico del partido whig, facilitó los elementos para contrarrestar el empuje de las masas y eliminar las intrigas cortesanas.
