Description

Product Description England in the Age of Palmerston had two players of colossal influence on the world stage:Lord Palmerston himself -the dominant figure in foreign affairs in the mid-nineteenth century - and The Times -the first global newspaper,read avidly by statesmen around the world. Palmerston was also one of the first real media-manipulating politicians of the modern age,forging close links with a number of publications to create the so-called Palmerston press . His relationship with The Times was more turbulent,a prolonged and bitter rivalry preceding eventual rapprochement during the Crimean War. In this book, Laurence Fenton explores the highly charged rivalry between these two titans of the mid-Victorian era,revealing the personal and political differences at the heart of an antagonism that stretched over the course of three decades. Review There is no doubt that newspapers played an ever increasing role in public and political life during the nineteenth century,and their importance and influence grew in consequence.In Palmerston and The Times Laurence Fenton has drawn out a number of illuminating points of detail and information and offers a closer examination of the dynamics of Palmerston's connections with the press. --David Brown, Professor of History, University of Southampton About the Author Laurence Fenton is a writer and editor living in Cork, Ireland. He is the author of The Young Ireland Rebellion and Limerick and has published articles in the Historical Journal and Media History. He holds a PhD from University College Cork and is currently researching nineteenth-century Irish-American history.
