Lord Salisbury's World by Michael Bentley
Lord Salisbury (1830-1903) is now a subject of intense historical attention. But while other scholars have chosen to present biographies of him, this important and accessible new study moves away from the conventional life and reconstructs the thought-world of late-Victorian Conservatives for the first time. In doing so it provides a new location within which Victorian politics and Salisbury himself can be evaluated. The book will therefore be essential reading for anyone interested in British political ideas.-

'Bentley does not seek to advance any particular view of Salisbury or of his significance, and, as a result, this is a book from which, more than is usual among academic volumes, readers will come away with different ideas.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Bentley clearly enjoyed writing this book and readers will share that pleasure in digesting a very sophisticated treatment of its subject.' History
