Review

Review of the hardback: 'The weaving together of ideas with accounts of personal life and historical events brings to life Mill's views, makes his ideas more engaging and is a particularly effective way of securing a deeper understanding of both the man and the values and interests which dominated his life.' C. L. Ten, The National University of Singapore

Review of the hardback: 'This is a new interpretation of Mill, based on deep research and wide reading and one that will shape future generations' understanding of the man and his works.' Contemporary Review

Review of the hardback: '... an engaging book that gives a rounded picture of Mill as person and thinker. ... It gives us a readable and carefully documented retelling, enlivened with well-chosen and often even comical detail ... The task of giving a readable account of someone as deeply inward as Mill is a real challenge, and Capaldi meets it ...' Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences

Review of the hardback: '... fine intellectual biography ... a very high standard ...' The Heythrop Journal
