SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Offering insight to the thinking of radical British politicians during the late 19th & early 20th centuries, Taylor examines the aristocrats who were anything but pillars of the nation. He exposes the debauched debtors & other 'lords of misrule', who exercised social & political power without responsibility.
