Emily Jones is Lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Manchester. After completing her DPhil in History at Exeter College, University of Oxford, in 2015, she held positions at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge and Columbia University in New York. Her current research focuses on the development of ideas about C/conservatism and constitutionalism at the turn of the twentieth century.

This is an impressive book, steeped in the intellectual history of Britain in the 19th century, but touching luminously on wider aspects of political and cultural history in explaining Burke's shifting fortunes. The resourcefulness and perceptiveness of the book strike the reader on every page, as does its feel for the different and often conflicting movements of thought that heightened interest in -- and controversy about -- Burke. It will inform new avenues of inquiry into C/conservatism, both in the period it has brought into focus and in others; also in related research areas. Most of all, this book underlines the nature of C/conservatism as a historical construct, rooted in claims and arguments that mobilise past thinkers in support of particular views rooted firmly in the present.
