Opis

Volumes XII and XIII, the final volumes of W.E. Gladstone's diaries, depict the extraordinary energy of a remarkable octogenarian. They focus on his pursuit of "justice for Ireland" through the successful passage of a Home Rule Bill. There is also a wealth of material on imperial, foreign, domestic, and religious politics contained in the daily diary entries, the minutes of the Cabinets of the 1892-4 government, and the five hundred letters which accompany the entries for the governmental period. With Volume XIV, Indexes, the publication of this magisterial work of scholarship is complete.

Recenzje

a monumental achievement, for which congratulations are in order to the editorial body led by Lord Blake and to the staff of the Clarendon Press as well as to Professor Matthew's devoted assiduity ... There are many felicities and excellences in Professor Matthew's reading of Gladstone ... what remains truly invaluable in the diaries are the very occasional flashes of illumination in which Gladstone reveals the deepest inwardness of himself.
