Astute, witty, and mercifully brief, Eminent Edwardians is a portrait of an age. Piers Brendon reveals the essence of the Edwardian era in biographical sketches of four of its most famous figures: Arthur Balfour, Prime Minister and inspirer of the Balfour Declaration on Palestine; Emmeline Pankhurst, dare-devil Suffragette and “castrating threat to the lords of humankind”; Robert Baden-Powell, war idol and “eternal Boy Scout”; and grandiose newspaper baron Lord Alfred Northcliffe, who unleashed on an unsuspecting world a mass popular press.
