Recenzii
Ernest Jones is the last of the major Chartist leaders to have received a modern biography, and in this volume Miles Taylor does the job splendidly. Thoroughly researched, beautifully written ... the biography offers a bold and convincing interpretation of a man whose enigmatic life has confused and frustrated generations of Chartist scholars.
Jones was a fantasist with no money, a man with aspirations to grandeur beyond his means, a failure in most things except in establishing his own heroically romantic reputation. In this last alone he succeeded. Miles Taylor tells us why and how.
Taylor has written an immensely readable account, putting straight the record about some of Jones' romantic claims without debunking or ridiculing the man himself.
... of great interest to anyone wanting to understand some of the realities of life in the mid-Victorian period.
Miles Taylor has done outstanding work as a sifter of documentation ... an excellent book.
Miles Taylor has assembled the evidence of an unfashionable life with enormous care.
Taylor's excellent, wide-ranging book shows the variety of elements that made up a mid-nineteenth-century political personality ... Jones's complex psychology is conveyed with great skill.
