Meticulously explored... This is a masterpiece. * Catholic Herald * Richard Reeves has assembled an impressive array of material and marshalled it with great style... the pace never slackens, the writing is slick and lucid. -- Phil Collins * Daily Telegraph * Gripping and authoritative... Liberty, individualism and imagination were the essence of Mill's thought, and now that Mill's liberalism seems to have finally run its course, Reeves spells out its implications with exemplary lucidity, thoroughness and brio. -- Hilary Spurling * Observer * Richard Reeves' sparkling new biography succeeds triumphantly. Practically every aspect of Mill's life and thought is freshly presented. -- John Gray * Independent *
Now in paperback, Richard Reeves's beautifully written book is the definitive life of one of the heroic giants of Victorian England and the first biography for general readers since 1954: 'The best book I have read in a long time.' Ben Wilson, Literary Review
