The tenth and eleventh volumes of Gladstone's Diaries cover the
years of his extraordinary second and third administrations. There
is much new material on the occupation of Egypt, the scramble for
Africa', the third Reform Bill, and the crisis in Ireland leading
eventually to the proposed Home Rule settlement in 1886 and the
split of the Liberal Party.
The volumes include not only the daily text of Gladstone's personal
diary for these years, but also the minutes that he kept of his
Cabinets - over 250 in these volumes - and over 1400 of the letters
on politics, religion, literature, and personal affairs which he
wrote in these years.
The editors long introduction offers an interpretation of this
remarkable material and in itself constitutes an important
contribution to our understanding of Victorian Britain. The
governments of the 1880s are the most controversial of Gladstone's
career. These two volumes - both in the quality and the quantity of
the material they contain - vastly increase our knowledge of
late-Victorian government and politics and will be an essential
source for many generations of historians.
