Abstract

A sociological theory of revolution can be found in the writings of Edmund Burke. This is important because modern sociologists of revolution have neglected Burke in surveying their predecessors; because the modern sociology of revolution has evaded some of the key questions about revolution raised in classical political theory; and because many influential writers on Burke have misrepresented and gravely underrated his theory of revolution. This article presents the evidence for Burke's sociology of revolution and offers a revisionist critique of the conventional scholarship in this area.
