About this book

"Dr. Bennett reveals William Stawell as an epitome of Victorian manly virtues: intellect, ambition, energy, bravery, charm, compassion. He shows why detractors would add arrogance, impatience and ruthlessness, and why history sustains the contemporary verdict on Stawell's death in 1889: "one may see in the life now terminated the history of Victoria personified"."--BOOK JACKET.
