- Summary:
-
William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), four times Prime Minister and an MP for sixty-three years, was one of the greatest British statesmen. He was remarkable not only for the political impact he had on Victorian England but also for his complex personality. His astonishing energy, command of detail and intellectual curiosity were matched by active involvement in many different areas of life in and out of politics. These essays by leading historians, published in the centenary of Gladstone's death, demonstrate the many different angles from which this extraordinary and idiosyncratic man can be seen.
