The sweat of the brain: representations of intellectual labour in the writings of Edmund Burke, William Cobbett, William Hazlitt and Thomas Carlyle
No full textThis thesis examines representations of intellectual work in the writings of Edmund Burke, William Cobbett, William Hazlitt, and Thomas Carlyle, focusing on their tendency to draw on an analogy between mental and manual labour when representing their own work to themselves and to their readers. It is my argument that while the assimilation of intellectual to physical labour can be seen as a symptom of political bad faith - suggesting, as it does, that thinking and writing are as painful or as difficult as digging and ploughing - the primary purposes of the analogy in the works of these four cultural commentators are, first, to forge rhetorical alliances with ordinary labourers, and, second, to attack other intellectuals engaged in what are alleged to be less arduous and less valuable forms of intellectual endeavour. By blaming the irresponsible activity of disaffected literary men for the political upheaval of the French Revolution, Burke set the terms for debate about the role of educated and literate men in society, a debate in which, for the first time, intellectuals competed for the allegiance of the labouring population. The analogy with manual labour was a key rhetorical site in the struggle to define an ideology for intellectuals, since it claims to ground the speaker or writer in the labouring community at large. For each author, I undertake close readings of several key texts to demonstrate the prevalence of the comparison with manual labour in the representation of intellectual activity. The political-ideological valence of the analogy is never straightforward, I contend, and it often occurs alongside an impulse to emphasise, as well as to elide, what are assumed to be the fundamental differences between mental and manual activity. We witness in the writings of Burke, Cobbett, Hazlitt, and Carlyle a recognisable mode of self-representation, for the desire to assimilate intellectual to material work has persisted
BURKE\u27S CONCEPT OF PROPERTY (ENGLAND)
No full textEdmund Burke, an English philosopher and politician, wrote extensively on the subject of property. However, in the secondary literature on Burke, there is only limited discussion of Burke\u27s theory of property. The study presented in this dissertation is meant to fill that gap. In preparing this study, the author read through the entire works of Edmund Burke including his published writings, speeches, and correspondence. The author then categorized the different usages of the term property as it appears in Burke\u27s writings. The author made use of secondary sources both with reference to Burke\u27s political philosophy, in general, and his theory of property, in particular. In the course of the research, the author found that the most appropriate method of discovering how Burke conceived of property was to examine the context and circumstances in which Burke made his statements about property. To present his findings, the author divided the study into two parts. The first part was a chronological presentation of the development of Burke\u27s theory of property. The second part was an examination of how Burke\u27s concept of property can be integrated into the rest of his political philosophy. The author concluded that Burke\u27s theory of property could be divided into several levels with property having different connotations for each level. On the highest level, property is an abstract idea. It is the cause for people associating with each other and forming society. In addition, the principal institutions of society, the state and the church, were legitimized by the laws of property, and any changes in their structure had to be in accord with those principles. On a second and lower level, Burke saw property, primarily landed property, as offering its owners certain advantages in terms of breeding and outlook. Because of this, Burke believed that property owners were eminently qualified to serve in positions of leadership. On yet another level, Burke defined the close relationship between property and political stability. Stability was important if society was to achieve its goal of fostering human perfection. What enhanced stability was a firm base of power rooted in landed property

No full textBurke’s “Revolutionary Book”: Conservative Politics and Revolutionary Aesthetics in the Reflections
No full textThis essay explores the seemingly disjointed relationship between politics and aesthetics in Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), questioning why the first articulation of conservative traditionalism would be announced in a shockingly new, experimental style. One of Novalis’s aphorisms suggests that Burke’s Reflections inverts common assumptions about the relationship between politics and aesthetics: “Many antirevolutionary books have been written for the Revolution. But Burke has written a revolutionary book against the Revolution.” As Novalis observed, Burke’s Reflections defies the formal conventions of political prose; Burke outlines his defense of traditional British institutions in an idiom that approaches the excesses of modernist montage in its patchwork of genres. His unsystematic style juxtaposes and blends, often in seemingly incongruous ways, diverse literary genres and rhetorical forms: the legalistic-latinate idiom, the captivity narrative, the biblical epistle, the political tract, the gothic novel, enthusiastic prophecy, chivalric romance, and tragedy. While these disparate literary forms erupt unpredictably in the Reflections, they do so in a fragmented, at times even grotesque manner, revealing what Burke himself admitted, that his conservative project is premised on an invented tradition devoid of all referential consistency and stability. In the face of an economy that was changing the very nature of value as such, Burke aesthetically revives fragments of tradition from the past and arranges them in an anti-utilitarian way that might conserve what he understood to be their pre-capitalist, non-relative value
