Reviews
"[An] enthralling biography...utterly absorbing." -The Atlantic Monthly "Excellent...wry, urbane, and laced with a gentle, affectionate irony-exactly the right tone for a historical monument who really was monumental....Jenkins makes Gladstone's life intelligible, affecting...entertaining." -The Boston Sunday Globe "A question that Jenkins's biography raises for the reader: why is it so much fun to read about Victorian politics'...An exhaustive, permanent biography, whose greatest virtue is its extraordinary worldliness. Jenkins has a bred-in-the-bone sense, almost unique among political biographers, of politics as improvisation, game, and even theatre." -The New Yorker From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of Churchill, a towering historical biography, available for the first time in paperback. William Gladstone was, with Tennyson, Newman, Dickens, Carlyle, and Darwin, one of the stars of nineteenth-century British life. He spent sixty-three of his eighty-nine years in the House of Commons and was prime minister four times, a unique accomplishment. From his critical role in the formation of the Liberal Party to his preoccupation with the cause of Irish Home Rule, he was a commanding politician and statesman nonpareil. But Gladstone the man was much more: a classical scholar, a wide-ranging author, a vociferous participant in all the great theological debates of the day, a voracious reader, and an avid walker who chopped down trees for recreation. He was also a man obsessed with the idea of his own sinfulness, prone to self-flagellation and persistent in the practice of accosting prostitutes on the street and attempting to persuade them of the errors of their ways. This full and deep portrait of a complicated man offers a sweeping picture of a tumultuous century in British history, and is also a brilliant example of the biographer's art. From the Trade Paperback edition.
