Topics for the Burke Analysis

You are analyzing a historical transition of some kind, the way Burke does in Part II of his book. Your task is to find at least one text before the transition and one after and compare them using Burkean tools. More texts than that or texts from during the transition are fine, but those are extra and not required. Start with the text after the transition. Your analysis will show you some key ideas that will help you select a text from before.

As with before, comment (not a new post, Wilson!) here to select.
