Description

Lord Derby was Britain's first statesman to serve as prime minister three times and remains the longest-serving Conservative party leader in modern politics, holding the position for twenty-two years from 1846 to 1868. This comprehensive biography, published by Oxford University Press, explores Derby's extraordinary political legacy during a transformative period in British history. From abolishing slavery across the British Empire to establishing Ireland's national education system and championing the 1832 Reform Act, Derby shaped the nation's trajectory as few statesmen have done. Volume II covers his remarkable achievements from 1851 to 1869, including his pivotal role overseeing the Second Reform Act of 1867 as prime minister. This is the first biography of Derby based upon his personal papers and correspondence, filling a significant gap in British political history and offering unprecedented insight into one of Britain's most influential yet overlooked premiers.
