Description

Gladstone is a comprehensive biography that explores the life and career of one of Britain's most influential politicians. Michael Partridge provides a detailed survey of Gladstone's life, from his early years to his four terms as Prime Minister.

The book delves into both the public and private aspects of Gladstone's life, examining his education, marriage, and service with Peel, as well as his time in office and his struggles with Ireland. A thorough analysis of source material provides a nuanced understanding of this complex figure.

From his early entry to Parliament to his eventual retirement from politics in 1894, Gladstone's story is one of significant change and turmoil in late 19th-century Britain. This biography offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal period in British history.
