A beautifully written biography of the Victorian statesman William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898), who served as Prime Minister no fewer than four times, a record unequalled in British history.
W. E. Gladstone (29 December 1809 - 19 May 1898) Political Term: 6 Decades Premier Position(s) Held: 4 times Records: For highest number of terms as PM (UK) Other Position: Chancellor of Exchequer (UK) A partial portrait of Gladstone is all that has been attempted here. Moving through nearly a century of public affairs, the man is blurred by the events that immersed him, and to read the lives that have been written is to become lost in a chronicle of domestic and foreign politics. Thus the task of Morley with but two thousand pages was, in his Life of William Ewart Gladstone, to compile, to edit, to arrange. The technical and detailed explanations necessarily overweight the chronicle, and draw our attention away from the character and personality of Gladstone himself.
