Lloyd George - John Grigg - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Lloyd George - John Grigg - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

John Grigg''s four volume life of Lloyd George is one of the great political biographies. Volume 1, The Young Lloyd George , covers the years from his birth in 1863 to the end of the Boer War in 1902. John Grigg describes the future Prime Minister''s emergence as a local solicitor and politician and his first twelve years in the House of Commons. In the process he challenges many stock assumptions about Lloyd George while never losing sight of the man behind the politician, nor forgetting that politics were the dominating passion of his life. It is a tragedy John Grigg didn''t live to complete his magnum opus but what exists is a masterpiece. Faber Finds is reissuing the four volumes: The Young Lloyd George , Lloyd George: The People''s Champion 1902-1911 , Lloyd George: From Peace to War 1912-1916 , Lloyd George: War Leader 1916-1918 .''I would not have believed that anyone could write a new volume of Lloyd George''s biography which would make everything previously written look narrow-sighted and stale. By the quality of his perception and writing he has given a new sharpness and interpretation.'' Roy Jenkins, Observer ''The most brilliant biographer of our times, whose books on Lloyd George will be read as long as civilization lasts.'' Brian Walden, Evening Standard ''Difficult to overpraise. . . Mr Grigg has dug up a whole mass of information. A mixture of shrewd human judgement and unblinkered insight.'' C. P. Snow, Financial Times .

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Edward Lloyd and His World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd''s Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides, Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other ''penny dreadfuls'', which became bestsellers. Lloyd''s publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens''s novels, such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection, leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers, such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism, whilst developing links with Victorian politics, theatre and music.

Lloyd George - John Grigg - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

John Grigg''s four volume life of Lloyd George is one of the great political biographies. Volume 2, The People''s Champion 1902-1911 , in the author''s own words ''carries the story on to the zenith of his whole career before the Great War. By the end of 1911 he had already achieved far more than be claimed for most politicians in a lifetime. . . . The period covered here is one of intense controversy and acrimony, in which Lloyd George''s speeches attacking the Conservative Party and its lordly backers are among the finest examples of polemical oratory in the English language.'' The central drama is the constitutional conflict surrounding Lloyd George''s 1909 Budget, the People''s Budget, which was such a powerful tool of social reform. There is much more besides, not least vivid portrayals of his relations with Asquith and Winston Churchill. The latter, again in John Grigg''s own words ''was Lloyd George''s closest colleague in two ways: they worked together on major reforming projects, and both were men of genius. .. .They also enjoyed each other''s company and had a strong affinity of temperament. ''This volume won the Whitbread Prize. It is a tragedy John Grigg didn''t live to complete his magnum opus but what exists is a masterpiece. Faber Finds is reissuing the four volumes: The Young Lloyd George , Lloyd George: The People''s Champion 1902-1911 , Lloyd George: From Peace to War 1912-1916 , Lloyd George: War Leader 1916-1918 .''A delight to read and a contribution to our political history of the greatest importance. Above all, it does justice to David Lloyd George, the greatest British statesman of the twentieth century.'' A. J. P. Taylor, Observer ''John Grigg is a biographer who loves his subject and captures him with artistry - a pleasure to read. He has given us the most intimate and subtly drawn portrait we have ever had of this remarkable man.'' Paul Addison, New Statesman ''The book succeeds admirably. Its proportions are exactly right, and it is written with a dynamism worthy of its subject.'' Stephen Koss, Times Literary Supplement ''A masterly biography ... .. it is unlikely that it will be superseded.'' Robert Blake, Sunday Times
