Douglas Hurd's elegantly-written masterpiece - I think!

Revisado en el Reino Unido el 11 de julio de 2007

Compra verificada

Others have written biographies of Sir Robert Peel and it is complained by some reviewers that (Lord) Douglas Hurd has cribbed much of his material from these earlier works. Quite frankly, I see nothing wrong in the practice, provided due credit is given, and I would have thought it beneficial in any case. When writing a life, one cannot read enough. And besides, it is plainly obvious that there is much fresh material in this elegantly-written masterpiece that has the advantage of being a political biography of one of the nineteenth century's all-time 'greats' by a very experienced and respected 'great' of the twentieth century. The only weakness that I could detect was the author's apparent inability or unwillingness to avoid occasional and unnecessarily sarcastic references to two of my all-time twentieth century 'greats' - Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair. Despite that, this work is educative, erudite and entertaining, as one might expect. What did I learn from it? Well, I suppose that the intricacies of the Great Reform Bill's arguments are now clearer to me; I am sure that Peel's changing attitudes to Ireland are much more understandable and it is very clear indeed that the Conservative Prime Minister's reaction to the Irish potato disaster was infinitely wiser and more helpful than that of the 'Liberal' Lord John Russell, a man whose memory is not honoured; and, though my own English farming ancestors must have held strong feelings against the repeal of The Corn Laws, again I have had it made clearer that it was the Conservative Peel who came to see that high food prices were against the national interest - and he was right, too. It is also proved, to my satisfaction at least, that Sir Robert Peel, despite his difficulties with his own kind and his own 'party,' was a man and a politician and a statesman way ahead of his contemporaries and of his peers. And, surprising as it is coming from a supposed 'One Nation' Tory, Douglas Hurd, the book's verdict on Benjamin Disraeli's early political career is damning: the fellow was obviously a cad and a bounder. Finally, I learned again that another great British hero, the Duke of Wellington, born in 1769, the victor of Waterloo in 1815, and Prime Minister in the 1830s, was still doing his patriotic duty as late as 1846: what a man! Maybe Lord Hurd or someone of equal eminence should bring out an up-to-date assessment of 'The Iron Duke' as his or her next project.

Opens up the complexities of the time and brilliantly introduces a man of a great stature

Revisado en el Reino Unido el 22 de junio de 2008

Compra verificada

I can remember at school feeling that history became far too complicated for mortal (and schoolboy minds) when it reached the early to middle of the Victorian era - one could more or less understand (if not necessarily approve of) the expansionist vision of a British globe - but mention things like the Corn laws and the battles between Whigs and Tories and how they transmuted into Liberal and Conservatives, and my eyes would glaze over with confusion and exhaustion.

Having felt the need to rectify this ignorance, I found that the process (through this book) brought both pleasure and insight. History is more than that of merely the stories of 'great men' (or women) - but like Pitt a few years before him, Peel had the most extraordinary impact on Britain and her allies and occasional foes (so much so that there was a unique adjournment of the French Assembly on the news of his death). Obsessive about factual detail and political argument, he was always prepared to change his mind (at huge political cost) if the arguments warranted it. This was a man of extraordinary political courage coupled with level-headed shrewdness.

Hurd's narrative trips along nicely - full (as many reviewers have rightly noted) of contemporary symmetries and allusions (as only a former politician can provide - cf Hague's Pitt the Younger and Jenkins' Churchill). A joy to read.

An excellent biography and a substantial analysis of the period. Hurd gives, as one would expect, a sophisticated reading of party machinations, and his frequent asides reflecting on contemporay political practice are always enlightening.
Concerning such events as the 1932 Reform Act and the Repeal of the Corn Laws, Hurd does not stray too far from the Westminster action (he is not a sociologist, thankfully): however this means that there isn't much analysis of the forces at play in the wider socitety ( read, the working classes) which played a part in these changes.

Arrived in good time, as described. The book is as expected a good historical autobiography. Thanks for your attention.

There isn't much choice in Peel biographies, so it's a bit Hobson's choice, but Hurd is a heavy handed writer and his analogies to contemporary politics intensely annoying.
I'm ploughing on because I AM interested in Peel, but without serious motivation I would have set the book aside days ago. Days? It feels as though I've been reading it for a lifetime.
If you want a brilliant biography try William Hague's Pitt. You'll deserve a treat after this!
