About This Book

A detailed biography that follows the public career and private life of Sir Charles Dilke, emphasizing his parliamentary struggles over electoral reform, redistribution and Home Rule and the Cabinet divisions these caused. It documents his involvement in imperial crises, notably Egyptian and Sudanese affairs and the mission that drew intense political debate, and traces subsequent foreign-policy, defence and army-and-navy engagements. The narrative also examines his work on labour and native-race questions, episodes of personal crisis and exile from office, eventual return to public life, literary interests, and the final years that shaped his public reputation.
