Gladstone

£3.99

About this item

Gladstone's long public life spanned all the great events and issues of British politics from the first Reform Bill in 1832 to Irish Home Rule in the 1880s and 1890s. Gladstone himself was transformed from 'the rising hope of those stern and unbending Tories', a phrase of Macaulay's that clung to him ever after, into 'the People's William', the great inspirational figure of Liberals and Radicals in the later nineteenth century. This unusual movement from right to left is perhaps the most remarkable feature of his political development; the key to his personality lies in the ardent search for God and moral righteousness of a man whose first choice of career was the Church and not politics.

Oxfam Bookshop St Albans

Oxfam is the UK's largest second hand bookseller, but it doesn't stop there. We sell a great range of donated music as well. Whether it's vintage LPs or the latest modern fiction you want, we're well worth a look! We also sell greetings cards for every occasion. And of course we have some great stock for sale on Oxfam's Online Shop, too. Call us to find out more.

Could you help us by collecting donations from donors homes? Our shop receives many offers of generous donations that we have to turn down as we do not have volunteers able to collect. We would ask you to collect in your own car, at your convenience and reimburse your petrol costs. It might be a couple of times a month and would make a really big difference to our ability to make money.
