By the end of the nineteenth century, William Gladstone was
arguably the most popular statesman in America since Lincoln. How
did a British prime minister achieve such fame in an era of
troubled Anglo-American relations? And what do press reactions to
Gladstone's policies and published writings reveal about American
society? Tracing Gladstone's growing fame in the United States,
beginning with his first term as prime minister in 1868 until his
death in 1898, this volume focuses on periodicals of the era to
illuminate how Americans responded to modern influences in religion
and politics. His forays into religious controversy highlight the
extent to which faith influenced the American cult of Gladstone.
Coverage of Gladstone's involvement in issues such as church
disestablishment, papal infallibility, Christian orthodoxy, atheism
and agnosticism, faith and science, and liberal theology reveal
deepening religious and cultural rifts in American society.
Gladstone's Influence in America offers the most comprehensive
picture to date of the statesman's reputation in the United States.
