Gladstone, a Progress in Politics

To restore Gladstone to his proper context in that world on the other side of the looking glass, the political world of 'old' or classical liberalism, to set forth what he hoped to achieve, how well he achieved it, and in what respects it was worth achieving---this is a difficult task. But Peter Stansky, in this finely perceptive study, has brilliantly succeeded....Professor Stansky is an expert in late Victorian liberalism. To meet him here as he ranges over the whole Gladstonian saga is a most welcome, a highly stimulating event....A fascinating and judicious book, full of important insights into the liberal past.Stansky, Peter is the author of 'Gladstone, a Progress in Politics' with ISBN 9780393000375 and ISBN 0393000370.
