Acknowledgments As Burke would no doubt appreciate, I cannot conceive of myself as the sole creator of this book. Although I take full responsibility for all that is in it, I am deeply indebted to many others. They are too numerous to list individually, but a few of those most directly involved must be acknowledged . I cannot convey enough gratitude to Claes G. Ryn of The Catholic University of America, who not only helped spark my interest in Burke but guided me through the initial stages of this project. He offered wisdom , knowledge, and encouragement, while recognizing the importance of freedom to the writing of political philosophy. David Walsh and Dennis J. Coyle of The Catholic University of America likewise provided invaluable wisdom and support in making this book a reality. Joseph L. Pappin III of the University of South Carolina and of the Edmund Burke Society of America has exhibited kindness and generosity to me in many ways, one of which has been his helpful commentary on this manuscript. The blind reviewers have also done much to make this a better book; their task is an important but largely thankless one, for which I convey my thanks. I also thank the directors and staff of Northern Illinois University Press, especially Amy Farranto, for believing in this project and helping bring it to fruition. And I greatly appreciate the past financial assistance provided to me by the Earhart Foundation and by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which ultimately helped make this book possible. I would like to thank the following publishers for permission to include in this book material adapted from that included in several previously published articles of mine: The Edmund Burke Society of America for use of material from “Imagination and the Good in Burke” in Studies in Burke and x Acknowledgments His Time, 21 (2007); the Intercollegiate Studies Institute for use of material from “Edmund Burke and the Politics of Empire” in The Political Science Reviewer , 37 (2008); and the National Humanities Institute for use of material from “Burke’s Higher Romanticism: Politics and the Sublime” in Humanitas, 19, nos. 1 and 2 (2006).
