Herbert Gladstone (1854-1930) was the only one of the sons of the
renowned nineteenth-century Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone
to enjoy a significant political career in his own right. Yet he
has been generally relegated to the wings of history's stage,
destined, it seems, to remain permanently in the shadow of his
illustrious parent. Such an outcome would not have troubled him
unduly, for his whole life was shaped by deep affection and respect
for his father while as a political actor he was happiest operating
in the political shadows rather than in the limelight - serving for
30 years as a Liberal MP for Leeds with short periods as Home
Secretary (1905-1910) and, as Viscount Gladstone, Governor-General
of South Africa (1910-1914). In exploring the intimate connection
between Herbert Gladstone's public and private lives this new
biography, the first for eighty years, reveals an unambitious,
self-effacing man of faith and throws new light not only on his own
career but also on significant episodes in British Victorian and
early-twentieth century history.
