Shane Leslie

4.9/5 (13760 ratings)

Description:From the dust jacket:"Sir Shane Leslie's name needs no recommendation as a biographer. In this book he pays tribute to five persons with whom he has particular ties of loyalty or affection.To Mrs. Fitzherbert, the clandestine wife of George IV, he is bound by family connection and by possession of her personal papers. Dr. Edmond Warre was his headmaster at Eton; a legendary figure and the symbol of an era of the British public schools which fashioned the generation of 1914. General Sir William Butler, almost the only British general in the Boer War whose reputation continues to grow with time (if he had had his way there would have been no war) was the inspiration of Shane Leslie's Irish Nationalism; this essay is offered 'as the beginning of a vindication.' Writing of Tolstoy, he presents a vivid impression of a visit to Ysnaya Polyana in his undergraduate days. Sir Mark Sykes, again a family connection, was a man of brilliant promise as a diplomat and politician, prematurely cut short by his death at the Versailles Peace Conference.To these five studies, the author has added a chapter of autobiography to complete a picture of a graceful, heroic and vanished age."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
