Produktbeschreibung
A major biography of the most famous Victorian statesman, with particular focus on his strong religious underpinning. Shannon is the leading authority on Gladstone, who was Prime Minister 4 times and an MP for 63 years. An accessible account of one of the most important careers in British and Irish history.
This important new single-volume study of  W. E. Gladstone offers a readily accessible account of one of the most important and consequential political careers in modern British and Irish history. It is a story of how a statesman of almost superhuman energy and forcefulness of character strove to realise God's purposes, as he saw them, in the twisting and slippery paths of public service. Striving to realise God's purposes is the theme at the centre of this reading of Gladstone's life and career.  For too long his intense religious faith has been exiled to the margins of the story, denied crucial explanatory power.  Richard Shannon puts this right.
