商品簡介
商品簡介
This authoritative and comprehensive biography of the Conservative prime minister captures a remarkable life. Arthur James Balfour had intellect and charm in legendary abundance. On becoming Prime Minister in 1902, it seemed that he had come into his inheritance as a true grandee. He held office longer than any other Cabinet minister and, in a fifty-year career, dealt with successes and defeats with similar equanimity. A graduate in moral sciences, he was notable for his appreciation of culture and philosophy and several of his achievements, including the Education Act, remain influential - and controversial - today. As ideas of aristocratic power are scrutinised and contemporary politicians increasingly trade on personal charisma and image, Balfour's life and career as an old-fashioned grandee make a fascinating contrast to our current world. This study of Balfour's life and career will be appreciated by anyone with an interest in politics and political history, and those who enjoy high quality biographies.
