Edmund Burke of Beaconsfield

Contributing to the search for the elusive person behind the British statesman Burke (1729-97), Lambert (English, Gettysburg College) locates him not at the House of Commons but at his Buckinghamshire country estate in Beaconfield. There she examines the core convictions that sustained, nurtured, and drove him throughout his adult life. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.
