The Whig World by Leslie Mitchell
The Whigs were one of the two great English political parties in the 150 years after 1700. This title paints a portrait, of which politics forms only a small part, of an extraordinary group of men and women whose power, taste and intellect dominated the centre of what had become the greatest power in the world.
Mitchell's book is a kind of spin-off from his outstanding biography Melbourne-mature reflections on the nature of WhiggismIt is written, with a splendid sense of balance, at times the author clearly with whig self-satisfaction, at others a reluctant admirer. * The English Historical Review *
Leslie Mitchell is Emeritus Fellow of University College, Oxford, and the author of Bulwer Lytton: The Rise and Fall of a Victorian Man of Letters.
