The Gladstone Diaries: Volume 9: January 1875-December 1880 (Hardcover)

The ninth volume of this major scholarly achievement covers some of the most dramatic years of Gladstone's eventful life: his political retirement, his return to lead the Bulgarian and Midlothian Campaigns against Disraeli's government, his recapture of power in 1880, and the crisis-ridden early months of his second government. Gladstone's daily diary, his personal correspondence, and the Cabinet Minutes, here published for the first time, offer a wealth of new insight into Gladstone's travels, interests, family, and business affairs as well as into the remarkable sequence of political events of his day.
