An eloquent and even sometimes erotic book, the Philosophical Enquiry was long considered to be merely a piece of Burke's juvenilia. It is a study of the relationship between strong feelings and forms of art that considers the inspired persuasiveness of certain kinds of writing alongside experience of the natural landscape. Though published when Burke was 28, and clearly on a fashionable topic of intellectual preoccupation in the eighteenth century, it is gradually being recognized as an important and influential work of not only aesthetic theory. It is both a precursor of Burke's remarkable later political writings, including his Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), and also one of the first major works in European literature on the Sublime, a subject that was to fascinate thinkers from Kant and Coleridge in the eighteenth century to contemporary philosophers and literary critics today.
