`Review from previous edition Professor Lock gives us the first
volume of what promises to be an important biography.'
Derek Jarrett, LRB
`meticulous and massive biography ... Helped by the bedrock of
collected scholarly editions of Burke's letters, writings and
speeches, he can raise this splendid monument. Refreshingly free of
jargon and interpretative whimsies - he nods ritually to "otherness
and alienation" only once - this is a study which will endure.'
Toby Barnard, Times Literary Supplement
`Burke's story is well and sympathetically told...gracefully and
clearly written.'
American Historical Review
`a work of balanced judgement and painstaking research. F.P. Lock
has produced the first volume of what will undoubtedly be the
standard modern biography.'
J.C.D. Clark, English Historical Review
