| Summary | "The Life of William Ewart Gladstone, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by John Morley is a historical biography written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the life of William Ewart Gladstone, a prominent British statesman, and explores his multifaceted character, significant political contributions, and personal experiences from his early years until 1859. By bridging the realms of personal biography and political history, the author aims to provide a rounded view of a man whose public service influenced many aspects of English governance. At the start of this volume, Morley reflects on the complexity and significance of writing a biography about Gladstone, particularly given the recent nature of his political career and the controversies surrounding it. He emphasizes the difficulty of distinguishing between the intricacies of parliamentary history and the personal narrative of Gladstone himself. As he launches into Gladstone's early life, Morley shares details about Gladstone's childhood in Liverpool, his family background, and his initial education at Eton, setting the stage for an exploration of how these formative experiences shaped a remarkable political career. The author introduces Gladstone's family dynamics and the influences that would later inform his deeply held political and religious beliefs, establishing a foundation for understanding his future ambitions and challenges.
