Product Description
Product Description
"The Right Honourable William Ewart Gladstone" is an insightful biography of this great man of nineteenth-century British politics, written in 1891 from the unparalleled stance of his contemporary acquaintance, George Russell. The author presents a clear, chronological account of the events that had, thus far, taken place in Gladstone's life, from his childhood, education and early political influences through to his roles as leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister in three governments. He reveals the moral authority Gladstone stamped upon politics during his career through reforms which affected almost every sphere of life at the time. Coupled with a unique insight into the true character of Gladstone as a man, this valuable biography provides a complete portrait of one of the greatest statesman in British history.
About the Author
George William Erskine Russell (1853-1919) was a Liberal Party politician and a relation of Lord John Russell (twice prime minister during the nineteenth century). In addition to Parliament he was considered influential in many spheres: as a prominent member of London County Council, as a respected Anglican lay reader and as a gifted writer and journalist. He made frequent contributions to the Manchester Guardian and produced several biographies of great men of his time.
