In this comprehensive three-volume edition, Dr. Richard Gaunt, an esteemed authority on Peel's life and work, has assembled a diverse collection of contemporary perspectives, delving into the various aspects of his remarkable career. Spanning from Peel's early days as an Oxford undergraduate to his ascent as a cabinet minister, the volumes compile a wealth of sources that chronicle his forty-year political journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe edition particularly focuses on the most contentious chapters of Peel's political life, including the granting of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, his role in founding the Conservative Party during the 1830s, and the achievements of his landmark government of 1841-6, culminating in the repeal of the corn laws in 1846. Additionally, it examines Peel's post-1846 career and the unique position he held in British politics before his untimely death in 1850. By incorporating viewpoints from across the political spectrum, this collection serves as a valuable resource for scholars and researchers with interests in history, politics, religion, economics, and political biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 580g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138225206\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105179726074,"sku":"9781138225206","price":142.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1657883989329_book.jpg?v=1658001349","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sir-robert-peel-contemporary-perspectives-orange-peel-17881830-9781138225206","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
