Winston Churchill described Joseph Chamberlain as 'the man who made
the weather' for twenty years in British politics between the 1880s
and the 1900s. This volume contains contributions on every aspect
of Chamberlain's career, including international and cultural
perspectives hitherto ignored by his many biographers. It breaks
his career into three aspects: his career as an international
statesman, defender of British interests and champion of imperial
federation; his role as a national leader, opposing Gladstone's
crusade for Irish home rule by forming an alliance with the
Conservatives, campaigning for social reform and finally advocating
a protectionist economic policy to promote British business; and
the aspect for which he is still celebrated in his adopted city, as
the provider of sanitation, gas lighting, clean water and cultural
achievement for Birmingham - a model of civic regeneration that
still inspires modern politicians such as Michael Heseltine,
Tristram Hunt and David Willetts.
