Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »
“Edsall’s life of Cobden is well written. It contains a good deal of information about the values, ambitions, and strategies of other mid-nineteenth-century bourgeois radicals. But more important than the information it contains is Edsall’s sensitivity, his ability to transform what have often been treated as symbols into people… It will be required reading for nineteenth-century British historians. It will also be read by others who are not historians and even by some who are not academics.”—D. C. Moore
