First published in 1992, a collection of four biographical essays on eminent Victorians, focusing on Prime Minister Balfour, suffragette Mrs. Pankhurst, Baden-Powell, and Lord Northcliffe.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In his account of four globally influential figures (Northcliffe, Balfour, Pankhurst, Baden-Powell), each of them, in their different ways, "monsters," Piers Brendon writes wittily and succinctly -- and brilliantly illuminates an age.
Piers Brendon is the author of a dozen books, including biographies of Churchill and Eisenhower, and The Windsors, Hawker of Morwenstow and, most recently, The Dark Valley, a hugely acclaimed history of the 1930s, which are all available in Pimlico. He also writes for television and contributes regularly to the national press. He is a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge.
