{"product_id":"the-blind-victorian-lawrence-goldman-9780521892742","title":"The Blind Victorian: Henry Fawcett and British Liberalism","description":"When Henry Fawcett died in 1884 he was among the most famous men of his age. From a relatively humble background he had risen to become Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge, a Liberal MP and a minister in Gladstone's second government. And he had achieved all this despite being blinded at the age of twenty-five in a shooting accident. Indeed, he was probably the first blind MP in British history. This book examines aspects of his life and career - his personal life, including his friendship with the critic and writer, Leslie Stephen, and his marriage to Millicent Garrett Fawcett, the famous feminist; his intellectual contribution to Victorian culture as a friend and disciple of John Stuart Mill; his influential role as a populariser of economic thought from his position at Cambridge; his political outlook and campaigns as a radical Liberal who often opposed Gladstone, his party leader, for his timidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawrence Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521892740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521892742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.08w x 0.56d","brand":"Lawrence Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685601333503,"sku":"9780521892742","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c72d230e-26c7-4d5a-80c6-ef00206c1427.jpg?v=1741726212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-blind-victorian-lawrence-goldman-9780521892742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
