Gladstone

<p>Originally published in 1966 and translated by Bernard Miall <i>Gladstone</i> traces William Gladstone’s career from his election to Parliament in 1832 to his funeral in Westminster Abbey. The book portrays Gladstone as a firm adherent of Toryism and it describes his relations with Peel and Palmerston as well as giving a well-founded account of his growing Liberalism and his rivalry with Disraeli. Eyck has written a generous and perceptive account of Gladstone’s life and career which since its first publication in 1938 has become generally recognized as a valuable contribution to the history of the nineteenth century. </p>
