254pp. Indexed. Bright, tight, clean and crisp throughout. 8vo. Very minor shelf wear to edges. Account of William Gladstone, the Grand Old Man of 19th century British politics, and his relationships with the women in his life, including Queen Victoria, who famously described Gladstone as a 'half-mad firebrand'. Gladstone mad it his mission to rescue 'fallen' women, spending thousands of pounds on them over the course of 40 years. Few believed his interest was entirely innocent, and he showed distinct preference for the younger, prettier, fallen ones.
