From the publisher's blurbs, "Robert Skidelsky's three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes has been acclaimed as the authoritative account of the great economist-statesman's life. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this abridged biography offers us a sympathetic account of the life and influences of a passionate visionary, and an invaluable insight into the formation of a new economic philosophy whose ideas remain even today at the centre of political and economic discussion. `In Robert Skidelsky's magnificently intelligent biography in my opinion the greatest of the last century and, possibly, of this one too Keynes has received the best tribute he could deserve Mark Archer, Financial Times Magazine `As brilliant as his full-length version . . . this one-volume version can be strongly recommended to the many non-economists who are mystified but intrigued by the Keynes legend William Keegan, Observer 'Nobody who wants to understand one of the most extraordinary Englishmen of his time can do without this biography' Eric Hobsbawm.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good. First Thus. The back cover reads: In Eminent Victorian Women, Elizabeth Longford describes the lives of eleven exceptional women and in doing so explores the lot of all women in the nineteenth century. She has chosen women who in their lives, actions or writings all fought against the repressive rules of Victorian society. They are the Brontë sisters, whose short and cloistered lives were illuminated by the vividness of their créative genius; George Eliot, whose novels brought her admiration and adulation even from those who abhorred her unorthodox life-style; Florence Nightingale, who through her devoted care of British servicemen opened up a whole profession to women; Josephine Butler, who brought about the repeal of the infamous Contagious Diseases Act; Annie Besant, who campaigned vigorously for the rights of women subject to unreasonable husbands or harsh employers; Ellen Terry, who brought matchless charm to the stage-one of the very few careers that had always been open to women; Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose Uncle Tom's Cabin alerted the world to the cruelties of slavery; Mary Kingsley, who crammed into her eight years of freedom more adventures than most achieve in a lifetime; and Dr James Miranda Barry, who found her freedom in male disguise. By the end of Victoria's reign much progress had been made; women had been accepted into many professions, they paid taxes and often took responsibility for the lives of thousands - but not for many years would they be allowed to vote. Lady Longford's highly readable account of this period of struggle is remarkable for both its scholarship and its insight. ------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- Covers creased and marked but the book is otherwise sound. 256 pages including index and copious colour and black-and-white plates ------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
