Historical Context:
William Gladstone (1809–1898) was a towering figure in 19th-century British politics, serving as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom four times (1868–74, 1880–85, 1886, 1892–94)—more than any other person in history. A champion of liberal reform, Irish Home Rule, education, and economic modernization, Gladstone is remembered for reshaping the role of the state in British life. His intense rivalry with Benjamin Disraeli defined a political era, and his enduring influence on parliamentary democracy earned him admiration as the “Grand Old Man” of British politics.
