George William Erskine Russell’s autobiographical essays offer a genial and well-observed account of life as a Liberal politician, churchman, and Victorian man of letters. Russell moved in the highest circles of late-Victorian and Edwardian society, and his recollections touch on parliamentary life, religious controversy, and the social world of the English upper classes.
Written with wit and a light touch, the chapters draw a vivid portrait of an era now long past — the England of Gladstone, the Church of England debates, and the great country houses. Download the free EPUB for an engaging set of Victorian political memoirs.
