A bibliography of works by and about the Duke of Wellington, this book lists manuscript and archival resources, newspaper articles, pamphlets, both published and unpublished books and iconography relating to the Duke's life and career.

Based upon research in numerous archival sources, this is a study of British military planning during a period in which long-succesful defence and military strategies had to be reappraised in the light of new technological advances.

Looks at the lives and politics of four of the key players in the independence and labour movements of the 19th century: Daniel O'Connell (1775-1847); Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-91); Michael Davitt (1846-1906); and James Bronterre O'Brien (1805-64).

Aims to bring alive, through the eyes of their contemporaries, three of the greatest political figures of the Victorian era - Henry, third Viscount Palmerston, Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone. This four-volume set draws together various documents including journals and diaries, pamphlets, correspondence, and other ephemeral literature.

A new survey of Gladstone's life and career, placing him firmly in the context of nineteenth-century Britain, and covering both his intriguing private life and his public career.
