Product Description
Literary Review, September 1, 2007
'This is real history. Unlike so many political biographers, Hawkins has really mastered the archives.'
Review
The first volume leaves him on the brink of his first ministry; the second volume is eagerly awaited...fine work (A. W. Purdue, THES )
Hopefully readers will not have to wait long for the remainder of this impressive work. Meantime, the book's publishers should be congratulated on having produced a handsome, illustrated volume, at a fairly reasonable price. (Terry Jenkins, BBC History Magazine )
OUP should be congratulated for publishing this book in two volumes...well-researched, well-written book. (Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Times )
This, the first full-length biography of Derby to be written with access to the archives, will be the only one needed this century...The next volume is eagerly awaited. (Andrew Roberts, The Sunday Times )
Hawkins's...achievement [is] in bringing the mind of a reading public back to this curious and significant statesman (Michael Bentley, TLS )
this is real history. Unlike so many political biographers, Hawkins has really mastered the archives. There is much in this book that is new, much that will permanently change interpretations of the period. It is about real politicians, not caricatures or faceless abstractions. Those who already have some acquaintance with the early years of the nineteenth century will find great pleasure in reading this book (Leslie Mitchell, Literary Review )
very full, well-executed and revealing (J. P. Parry, Parliamentary History )
