Book Synopsis Gladstone and the Logic of Victorian Politics by : Ian St. John
Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough analysis of the political career of William Gladstone, one of the most intriguing figures in modern British history. 'Gladstone and the Logic of Victorian Politics' captures the incredible richness of Gladstone's political journey, tracing his evolution from Tory defender of a theocratic Anglican state to great reforming Liberal Prime Minister, always prepared to champion the 'masses against the classes'. Each stage in Gladstone's development is assessed in the light of recent historiographical debates and his own fascinating explanations of his conduct.
