Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England in the Age of Palmerston had two players of colossal influence on the world stage: Lord Palmerston himself - the dominant figure in foreign affairs in the mid-nineteenth century - and The Times - the first global newspaper, read avidly by statesmen around the world. Palmerston was also one of the first real media-manipulating politicians of the modern age, forging close links with a number of publications to create the so-called 'Palmerston press'. His relationship with The Times was more turbulent, a prolonged and bitter rivalry preceding eventual rapprochement during the Crimean War. In this book, Laurence Fenton explores the highly charged rivalry between these two titans of the mid-Victorian era, revealing the personal and political differences at the heart of an antagonism that stretched over the course of three decades. Fenton focuses on the years from 1830 to 1865, when Palmerston was British Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister for a combined total of almost twenty-five years, and when The Times, under the editorship of first Thomas Barnes and then John Delane, reached the zenith of its success. It was a period during which public interest in foreign affairs grew immeasurably, encompassing the tumultuous 'Year of Revolutions', the famous 'Don Pacifico' debate and the Crimean War. Palmerston and The Times adds significantly to the understanding of the life and career of Lord Palmerston, in particular the relationship he enjoyed with the press and public opinion that was so vital to his incredibly long and multifaceted political career. It also brings to light the remarkable men behind the success of The Times, paying fair tribute to their abilities while at the same time warning against the long-standing view of The Times as a paragon of newspaper independence in this era. It will be essential reading for researchers of Victorian history and for anyone interested in the tumultuous relationship between politics and the press.

Book excerpt: British historians have long discerned a 'striking correlation between public opinion and foreign policy'. And they have emphasized 'the significance of public opinion as a force in British politics, especially after 1832.' Yet, for Keith Sandiford, they had seldom attempted to show how public opinion on foreign matters was manipulated in the nineteenth century, by whom, and with what effect. Sandiford's work dealt with the Scheswig-Holstein question of the mid-nineteenth century. The general discrepancy he drew attention to remains largely unaddressed. It is a discrepancy this doctoral thesis proposed to alleviate by tracing the connections between the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston and public opinion and by examining the statements of The Times, the self-styled organ of British public opinion, on foreign matters. Public opinion was a significant theme in mid-Victorian society. The trend was to view it as essentially middle-class opinion. The thesis acknowledges the import of public opinion in Victorian politics and will address in a more through manner than heretofore the attempted manipulation of public opinions on foreign policy matters by politicians, with the connivance and support of newspapermen and editors. The protagonists of the piece fall broadly into two rival camps, those who favoured the foreign policy pursued by Lord Palmerston during his third tenure at the Foreign Office, 1846-51, and those who were fundamentally and vehemently anti-Palmerston. The hostile ruminations of this latter camp found, easily and consistently, their way into the leader columns of The Times, by far the most successful and powerful paper of the period. Palmerston's retorts he had published in a number of friendly papers. It will be argued that there were essentially three phases to the Palmerston's relationship with public opinion. As Foreign Secretary during both the 1830-34 and 1835-41 governments, Palmerston to a large degree directed and controlled public opinion on foreign questions. During the period this work most closely explores, 1846-51, that easy direction gave way necessarily to skilled manipulation. Palmerston had to work to keep the public onside. Finally, the years of Palmerston's Premierships, 1855-58 and 1859-65, witnessed Palmerstonian deference to public opinion on foreign questions. As regards the concept of public opinion, the thesis contends a significant evolution occurred in contemporary thought upon whom it was that constituted the public of 'public opinion.'

Download or read book Palmerston written by David Brown and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A grand and fascinating figure in Victorian politics, the charismatic Lord Palmerston (1784-1865) served as foreign secretary for fifteen years and prime minister for nine, engaged in struggles with everyone from the Duke of Wellington to Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, engineered the defeat of the Russians in the Crimean War, and played a major role in the development of liberalism and the Liberal Party. This comprehensive biography, informed by unprecedented research in the statesman's personal archives, gives full weight not only to Palmerston's foreign policy achievements, but also to his domestic political activity, political thought, life as a landlord, and private life and affairs. Through the lens of the milieu of his times, the book pinpoints for the first time the nature and extent of Palmerston's contributions to the making of modern Britain.
