Description

"Four times elected Prime Minister of Great Britain, William Ewart Gladstone was also the most influential Chancellor of the Exchequer of the nineteenth century. Gladstone's political career covered the period of Britain's greatest power in the world. He played a prominent role in the creation of a viable financial system for the world's first industrial nation, laid the foundations of a democratic system, and tackled constitutional and ethnic problems which have dominated the British Isles to this day." "With its thematic, rather than merely chronological, approach, this volume offers a new perspective on the quintessential Victorian whose ideas and leadership shaped the British political agenda at the end of the second Millennium."--BOOK JACKET.
