William Ewart Gladstone (1809-98) was the outstanding statesman of
the Victorian age. He was an MP for over sixty years, a long
serving and exceptional Chancellor of the Exchequer and four times
Prime Minister. As the leader of the Liberal party over three
decades, he personified the values and policies of later Victorian
Liberalism. Gladstone, however, was always more than just a
politician. He was also a considerable scholar, a dedicated
Churchman and had a range of interests and connections that made
him, in many respects, the quintessential Victorian. Yet important
aspects of Gladstone's life have received relatively little recent
attention from historians. This study reappraises Gladstone by
focusing on five themes: his reputation; his representation in
visual and material culture; his personal life; his role as an
official; and the ethical and political basis of his international
policies. This collection of original, often multidisciplinary
studies, provides new perspectives on Gladstone's public and
private life. As such, it illustrates the many-sided nature of his
career and the complexities of his personality.
