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.  aBiography   cBK  2ddc  2ddc  2ddcn0  c27757d27757  00102ddc4070aAKCLbAKCLd2022-07-15l0o920 BRE-Ep37269r2022-07-15 00:00:00w2022-07-15yBK
