Christopher Hobhouse presents a vivid portrait of a man who was simultaneously a brilliant parliamentary orator, a committed Whig reformer, and a notorious figure of Georgian high society. The biography details Fox's fierce rivalry with William Pitt the Younger, his passionate opposition to the American and French wars, and his enduring advocacy for civil liberties and the abolition of the slave trade. Harold Nicolson's biographical introduction adds a further layer of scholarly context, situating Hobhouse's work within the broader tradition of British political biography. Written with elegance and authority, this volume stands as an essential account of a towering figure in the history of British politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888005886171,"sku":"2026200009471-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/81841e15-7da6-411d-a1e0-551a3fd38993.png?v=1781752315","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009471-secondhand-fox","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
