Book Summary
Sir Charles Dilke's claim to a leading place in the pantheon of Victorian
radicalism, with Cobden, Bright and Chamberlain, has been overshadowed by the
sensational divorce case in 1886 that ruined his career. Yet his political
abilities were great and his career a most remarkable one. He was regarded by
many of his contemporaries as a likely successor to Gladstone and a probable
future Prime Minister. It can be argued that his political eclipse was a crucial
contributing factor to the Liberal Party's failure to provide a viable
alternative to the rise of the Labour Party.
This is the first new biography of Dilke since Roy
