Description

Lord Acton's study of liberty remains an unfinished work, despite his prolific output as a historian and political thinker. For decades, he struggled to compile his findings into a comprehensive account of the history of liberty.

Christopher Lazarski presents the first in-depth consideration of Acton's thought in over fifty years, bringing his work to light in accessible language. This book offers a nuanced exploration of Acton's understanding of liberty and its development in Western history.

A detailed examination of Acton's political theory, this book provides a fresh perspective on the ideas of one of the nineteenth century's most insightful minds.
