The daughter of one of Britain's longest-serving Prime Ministers,
Mary Gladstone was a notable musician, hostess of one of the most
influential political salons in late-Victorian London, and probably
the first female prime ministerial private secretary in Britain.
Pivoting around Mary's initiatives, this intellectual history draws
on a trove of unpublished archival material that reveals for the
first time the role of music in Victorian liberalism, explores its
intersections with literature, recovers what the high Victorian
salon was within a wider cultural history, and shows Mary's
influence on her father's work. Paying close attention to literary
and biographical details, the book also sheds new light on
Tennyson's poetry, George Eliot's fiction, the founding of the
Royal College of Music, the Gladstone family, and a broad plane of
wider British culture, including political liberalism and women,
sociability, social theology, and aesthetic democracy.
