About this title

Synopsis

One of England's most noted scholars, and author of George V, superbly evokes the world of the ruling class in late Victorian Britain. Full of anecdote and incident, it captures the life of George Nathaniel Curzon, who served as the Viceroy of India. Born into a family and culture in which privileges were taken for granted, Curzon still believed robustly in the "civilizing mission" of the British Empire. Aside from the remarkable Curzon, such illustrious figures as Oscar Wilde Gladstone, Balfour, and others put in finely drawn appearances.
