About the Author

Leslie Mitchell is Emeritus Fellow of University College, Oxford, and the author of The Whig World as well as biographies of Charles James Fox and Lord Melbourne.

Reviews

Mitchell's book is a kind of spin-off from his outstanding biography Melbourne-mature reflections on the nature of Whiggism. It is written, with a splendid sense of balance, at times the author clearly with whig self-satisfaction, at others a reluctant admirer. * The English Historical Review *
