William Ewart Gladstone was perhaps the greatest colossus of the Victorian Age Along with his formidable rival Benjamin Disraeli he dominated Britains political scene from the moment of his appointment as chancellor of the exchequer in Aberdeens famous coalition ministry until his resignation as prime minister in March 1894 four years before his death In the intervening years he held the office of prime minister four timesWith this volume Richard Shannon completes his magisterial biography of Gladstone Tracing Gladstones career from his rise to eminence in 1865 until his death in 1898 Shannon documents his emergence as the dominant personality in the Liberal Party his activities as a statesman and his decadeslong battle with DisraeliIn his analysis Shannon pays particular attention to Gladstones attempts to integrate his religion with his career Profoundly influenced by his Anglican Christianity Gladstone approached his causes with a missionary fervor Shannon argues This tenacity is perhaps best illustrated by Gladstones unyielding support of Irish home rulea position so at odds with Liberal policies that it caused many Liberals to ally themselves with the Conservatives thereby instigating the decline of Gladstones own party
