About this book
Reviews
“Sato’s study is successful in grounding long-discussed concepts of Burke’s social and political thought—from his ideas on conquest and chivalry to free trade and ancient constitutionalism in the larger historiographical debates of the Enlightenment, and doing so in a way that opens up new avenues for research. … it is a fine addition to a vibrant discipline and to Burkean studies as a whole.” (Xandra Bello, Studies in Burke and His Time, Vol. 29, 2020)
