Title: One heavyweight empathises with another
Review: It took me two years after buying this book to have the courage to begin - its size and detail were daunting. Once I started to read I could scarcely put it down. Roy Jenkins writes smoothly and wittily and his many references to contempory politics bring the nineteenth century Parliament to life. Not far off his eightieth birthday himself, I believe, Jenkins has a lot in common with Gladstone - including his great learning and energy. The parallels between the two are part of the fascination of the book.Having long been an admirer of Disraeli at the expense of Gladstone, who often is made to appear pompous and puritanical, this reader is now convinced of the greatness of the latter: to be, in the Victorian age, an anti-imperialist, a reformer and pro Home Rule for Ireland was progressive indeed. Gladstone was a magnificent example of the head overcoming the heart. He also had the courage to pursue the convictions resulting from this.
