Publisher's Synopsis
William Ewart Gladstone (1910) is a biography of the British politician and statesman, William Ewart Gladstone, written by George W. E. Russell. Gladstone was one of the most prominent figures in British politics in the 19th century, serving as Prime Minister four times between 1868 and 1894. Russell's biography provides a comprehensive overview of Gladstone's life and career, from his early years as a student at Oxford University, to his rise to political power in the House of Commons, and his eventual retirement from public life. The book also examines Gladstone's political beliefs and his contributions to British political and social reform, including his advocacy for Irish home rule and his efforts to improve working conditions for the country's laborers. Russell draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Gladstone's own writings and speeches, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this influential figure in British history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
