Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) was one of the most significant
political figures in nineteenth-century Britain. He was also one of
the most controversial. In this new, three-volume edition, Dr
Richard Gaunt, an authority on Peel's life and work, brings
together a range of contemporary perspectives considering Peel's
life and achievements. From the first observation of Peel's
precocious talent as an Oxford undergraduate to his burgeoning
reputation as a cabinet minister, the volumes draw together sources
on Peel's forty-year political career. The edition pays particular
attention to the most controversial aspects of his political life -
the granting of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, his 'founding' of
the Conservative Party during the 1830s and the achievements of his
landmark government of 1841-6, culminating in the repeal of the
corn laws in 1846. It also considers Peel's post-1846 career, and
the unusual position he occupied in British politics before his
untimely death in 1850. Combining perspectives from different parts
of the political spectrum, the collection will be of use to a wide
range of researchers, with interests in history, politics,
religion, economics and political biography.
