Book excerpt: Drawing on the conclusions of recent research, this book takes a more critical view of Peel's political career than is conventionally offered. It argues that, although Peel was an efficient administrator and a dominant political leader in the 1830s and 1840s, he lacked both intellectual flexibility and political sensitivity. His arrogance and inflexibility rather than the inadequacies of his backbenchers, were largely responsible for the break-up of the Conservative party in 1846 and for its generation in the political wilderness thereafter. Completing the trilogy of Great Victorian Prime Ministers in the Lancaster Pamphlet series, Professor Evans's reassessment of Peel's career sheds light both on a major political figure and, more widely, on party politics in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Sir Robert Peel written by Norman Gash and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Gash's magnificent two-volume life of Sir Robert Peel - Mr Secretary Peel (1961) and Sir Robert Peel (1972) - is the standard work on the great statesman, and is widely considered one of the great biographies of nineteenth-century prime ministers. Faber Finds is delighted to return both to print. In this second volume, Gash focuses on the years between 1830 and 1850, the height of Peel's political career, which included his two terms as prime minister, the controversial repeal of the Corn Laws, and his reform of the Conservative Party. 'In ... his masterly biography, covering Peel's career from the Reform Crisis to his untimely death in 1850, Professor Gash shows himself not merely an admirer but an emulator - brilliant intellect, master of detail, man of conservative but humane conscience.' Harold Perkin, Guardian 'Norman Gash's Sir Robert Peel shows how high and austere academic writing about a major figure is compatible with an outstanding general biography.' Roy Jenkins, Observer 'In Mr Secretary Peel, the first volume of this biography, he provided a rich and perceptive portrait of a statesman in the making. Now at last he has completed one of the great biographies of our time.' Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph 'Sir Robert Peel by Norman Gash ranks with the great political biographies of the past, a classic work in both scholarship and presentation.' A. J. P. Taylor, New Statesman

Download or read book Sir Robert Peel written by Richard Gaunt and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) was one of the most significant political figures in nineteenth-century Britain. He was also one of the most controversial. In this new, three-volume edition, Dr Richard Gaunt, an authority on Peel’s life and work, brings together a range of contemporary perspectives considering Peel’s life and achievements. From the first observation of Peel’s precocious talent as an Oxford undergraduate to his burgeoning reputation as a cabinet minister, the volumes draw together sources on Peel’s forty-year political career. The edition pays particular attention to the most controversial aspects of his political life – the granting of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, his ‘founding’ of the Conservative Party during the 1830s and the achievements of his landmark government of 1841-6, culminating in the repeal of the corn laws in 1846. It also considers Peel’s post-1846 career, and the unusual position he occupied in British politics before his untimely death in 1850. Combining perspectives from different parts of the political spectrum, the collection will be of use to a wide range of researchers, with interests in history, politics, religion, economics and political biography.
Download or read book Sir Robert Peel written by Richard A. Gaunt and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Peel - paragon or pariah? Peel was the greatest statesman and political leader of mid-Victorian Britain, a titan of Conservative politics, whose legacy has inspired generations in his party and in British political life. In a career spanning forty years he held the greatest offices of state including Chief Secretary to Ireland, Home Secretary, Chancellor of the Exchequer and was twice Prime Minister. He was the first acknowledged leader of the Conservative Party and the Founder of Modern Conservatism. Yet Peel's seemingly peerless reputation has never been secure. The Repeal of the Corn Laws split his party, his 'Peelite' supporters joined the Liberals and the Conservatives remained in opposition for thirty years. Richard Gaunt, drawing on a huge archive of state papers, contemporary writings including Peel's own Memoirs and the latest historiography, paints a convincing picture of Peel as an exponent of effective government in the modern industrial state and a calculating practitioner, supremely self-confident, who dominated both his Party and the House of Commons. Gaunt's revisionist life of Peel will be essential reading and the standard work for students and general readers interested in Conservative and mid-Victorian political history and historical biography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Robert Peel Qualities, and the means by which he rose to the exalted position of Prime Minister. Peel had not those fasci nating endowments which appeal to the dramatic sense in man the highest eloquence was denied him 5 there was nothing romantic, either in the cast of his mind or the circumstances by which he was surrounded, that could stimulate the imagination. If we depict him, it must not be with the brilliant colours of a Titian, but rather with the homely traits of a Teniers. A wise adaptability was one of the root causes of his success. He was a political philo Sopher of the most practical type. He united in himself many of the best characteristics of his countrymen, and was the product of several generations of typical English men He was not a statesman fitted to control the destinies of a nation in moments of supreme peril, and could never have grappled, for example, with the power and resources of a Napoleon. He rose to distinction at a period when England had ceased to be distracted by foreign wars - when she had arrived at a time of transition, and the people clamoured loudly for domestic reforms. Such a period needs rather the sagacious than the origi native statesman, and in every sense Peel was admirably fitted for this new departure in public affairs. He Peel family, which originally had a settlement in Yorkshire, migrated about the year 1600 to Lancashire, where one William Peele established himself near to Blackburn. This ancestor of the future statesman belonged to one of those families of English yeomanry, the members of which have been described as happy in.

Download or read book Sir Robert Peel written by Terence Andrew Jenkins and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) is always remembered for three things: his creation of the Metropolitan Police, his principal role in the repeal of the Corn Laws and his status as founder of the modern Conservative Party. This is quite sufficient to make him the key statesman of the early Victorian period, but there were many other aspects of his personality and politics which make the study of his career uniquely useful for students of the period. In many ways, he can be seen as the archetypal link figure between the pre-Reform and post-Reform political worlds - embodying a strange mixture of reactionary Toryism and vigorous progressivism.
