The Blind Victorian: Henry Fawcett and British Liberalism
I think 3 stars is fair for this book. It's interesting and certainly brings a new perspective to Britain Politics for me.
I bought this book originally to read the chapter on Dorothy Macmillan as I will read anything on the Macmillan Government.
It was insightful and well researched however it just seemed to fall lacking.
A previous reviewer commented that it becomes repetitive towards the end and understandably there were a few overlaps. Particularly referring to Elizabeth Home's Memorial Service the part in her chapter and in Dennis Thatchers were almost identically worded.
I was pleased to note that there didnt appear to be any partisan bias. I especially enjoyed the chapter on Clarissa Eden and Elizabeth Home. You get the feeling the author liked her subjects as a lot if effort goes in to making them seem like complete people. Of course I'm aware that they are but it could have been easy to make them come accross rather flat.
All in all, a good easy read but nothing ground breaking.
