This dialogue is assumed to take place in 1790, when Edmund Burke was writing his Reflections on the Revolution in France. Burke defends his views against two left-wing friends, Thomas Paine , who had made his name in America as the author of the revolutionary tract, Common Sense, and Mary Wollstonecraft , who later married William Godwin.
