Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Ewart Gladstone (1809–98) was the outstanding statesman of the Victorian age. He was an MP for over sixty years, a long serving and exceptional Chancellor of the Exchequer and four times Prime Minister. As the leader of the Liberal party over three decades, he personified the values and policies of later Victorian Liberalism. Gladstone, however, was always more than just a politician. He was also a considerable scholar, a dedicated Churchman and had a range of interests and connections that made him, in many respects, the quintessential Victorian. Yet important aspects of Gladstone's life have received relatively little recent attention from historians. This study reappraises Gladstone by focusing on five themes: his reputation; his representation in visual and material culture; his personal life; his role as an official; and the ethical and political basis of his international policies. This collection of original, often multidisciplinary studies, provides new perspectives on Gladstone's public and private life. As such, it illustrates the many-sided nature of his career and the complexities of his personality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William Ewart Gladstone: Statesman and Scholar Lord rosebery once remarked that if an adequate biography of Mr. Gladstone were ever written, it would be the work of a Limited Liability Company. Certainly, the marvellous variety of interests which absorbed Mr. Gladstone during his long life has made the task of recording his multifarious achievements, and of appreciating their value, well-nigh impossible. Yet it is a task which is all the more fascinating by its very greatness and difficulty. Mr. Gladstone has given his own opinions on the subject of biography What we want in a biography, and what, despite the etymology of the title, we very seldom find, is life. The very best transcript is a failure, if it be a transcript only. To fulfil its idea, it must have in it the essential quality of movement must realise the lofty fiction of the divine shield of Achilles, where the up turning earth, though wrought in metal, darkened as the plough went on and the figures of the battle-pieces dealt their blows and parried them, and dragged out from the turmoil the bodies of their dead.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: two hundred years ago. The crime of forgery was difficult to decide upon, as we were a groat commercial nation. The question put by Mr. Kelt, however, was easily answered in the negative. Mr. Andrews, au elector, then entered npon a long address on the subject of negro slavery, and required Mr. Gladstone's opinion npon the subject. Mr. Gladstone gave it unequivocally, that ho desired the emancipation of slaves upon such terms as would preserve them and the colonies from destruction. The slaves ought first to be fully prepared for emancipation.' A long discussion for and against the results of emancipation in St. Domingo and Antigua followed. Mr. Gladstone was now unfortunately placed. Being the third in order of the three candidates proposed, his address to the electors came last. Serjeant Wilde exhausted the patience of the people by his very lengthy speech, and the Tory candidate was condemned to follow amidst a scene of outrageous noise and uproar. The mass of people in front of the hustings had already stood for nearly seven hours, and showed a disinclination to be detained with another three hours' address, which, as a local chronicler naively puts it, ' from Mr. Gladstone's talents we were far from thinking not possible.' Serjeant Wilde's policy in occupying the attention of the electors for an inordinate length of time was almost universally condemned. Mr. Gladstone was but able to utter a few comments upon the prominent topic of slavery, when the hooting and hissing, drowned his voice, and he found it impossible to proceed. A show of hands being demanded, it was declared to be in favour of Mr. Handley and Serjeant Wilde. For Mr. Gladstone few hands wereheld up beyond those of his supporters on the hustings. A poll was accordingly demanded on his behalf. Since 1...

Download or read book The Man Who Seduced Hollywood written by B. James Gladstone and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hollywood history, no other lawyer has achieved the movie star–like fame and glamour that Greg Bautzer enjoyed. This revealing biography tells, for the first time, the amazing story of a self-made man who for 50 years used his irresistible charm and prodigious legal talent to dominate the courtrooms, boardrooms, and bedrooms of Hollywood. Columnists of the 1930s through 1950s dubbed him “Hollywood Bachelor Number One,” and for good reason. His long-term relationships and momentary conquests were a who’s who of leading ladies. Through exclusive interviews with those who knew him best, the book uncovers the inner workings of not only Bautzer the high-powered Hollywood lawyer—whose clients included billionaire Howard Hughes—but Bautzer the man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every week on the public radio show On the Media, the award-winning journalist Brooke Gladstone analyzes the media and how it shapes our perceptions of the world. Now, from her front-row perch on the day’s events, Gladstone brings her genius for making insightful, unexpected connections to help us understand what she calls—and what so many of us can acknowledge having—“trouble with reality.” Reality, as she shows us, was never what we thought it was—there is always a bubble, people are always subjective and prey to stereotypes. And that makes reality actually more vulnerable than we ever thought. Enter Donald J. Trump and his team of advisors. For them, as she writes, lying is the point. The more blatant the lie, the easier it is to hijack reality and assert power over the truth. Drawing on writers as diverse as Hannah Arendt, Walter Lippmann, Philip K. Dick, and Jonathan Swift, she dissects this strategy, straight out of the authoritarian playbook, and shows how the Trump team mastered it, down to the five types of tweets that Trump uses to distort our notions of what’s real and what’s not. And she offers hope. There is meaningful action, a time-tested treatment for moral panic. And there is also the inevitable reckoning. History tells us we can count on it. Brief and bracing, The Trouble with Reality shows exactly why so many of us didn’t see it coming, and how we can recover both our belief in reality—and our sanity.
