Edward Henry Stanley (1826-93) was a prominent British politician and a major landowner. His diaries record the minutiae of the life of a great Victorian nobleman as faithfully as the momentous arguments in Gladstone's cabinet.
This book contains a selection from the diaries of Edward Henry Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby, from the years between September 1869 and March 1878. The Diaries are a rich source for the politics of the 1870s covering much of the period of opposition to Gladstone's First Ministry and Derby's pivotal role in Disraeli's Second Ministry. This is also a central text for understanding Disraeli's personality and the Eastern Question. Professor Vincent's edition will be widely welcomed by all those interested in Victorian politics.
