The Gladstone Diaries

Abstract

Readers of John Morley’s great Life of Gladstone 1 have long known that its subject kept a diary. That diary is not among the mass of Gladstone papers deposited in the British Museum as part of the national memorial to the former Prime Minister. 2 Nor is it in the Flintshire Record Office in the Old Rectory, in the collection of Glynne and Gladstone family papers, nor has it been retained by the family. Very few people — less I believe than a dozen — have ever read it all; but now, thanks to the foresight and forbearance of the Oxford University Press and to the generosity of several donors, notably the Calouste Gulbenkian foundation, its complete publication is in train. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
