Edmund Burke was a British statesman, parliamentary orator, and political theorist who was significant in the history of political theory and was active in public life from about 1765 to about 1795. Burke was born in Dublin, Ireland, on January 12 [January 1, Old Style], 1729, and died in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, England, on July 9, 1797. In Reflections on the Revolution in France, he supported conservatism in opposed to Jacobinism (1790).

His contributions to Catholic emancipation, the removal of Warren Hastings from the East India Company, and his strong resistance to the French Revolution are recognized today.
Burke's assertion that his own socioeconomic class could rule the nation using paternalism was revealing. Burke also thought that society had a natural hierarchy and that, like a living thing, each part of society had a specific role to play.

Burke defined the Beautiful as being well-formed and aesthetically beautiful, while the Sublime is defined as having the ability to compel and destroy us. As the Neoclassical period gave way to the Romantic, the preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful became apparent.
