Critics Review
A full-throated, clear-sighted, well-researched and extremely well written exposition of the Victorians and their values. Rees-Mogg’s choice of a dozen Victorian luminaries allows him to defend an era too often ignored or written off in British history, and to compare it to our modern day in a way that readers will find gripping but also chastening * Andrew Roberts, bestselling author of ‘Churchill: Walking with Destiny’ *
A fine philosophical mind * Matthew Parris *
One of the most important politicians in the country * Economist *
Polite, eloquent, witty, well-informed, coherent, principled — Jacob Rees-Mogg is the antithesis of almost every-thing the Labour party stands for under its current populist leadership * James Delingpole *
The best-dressed man in the House of Commons * Spectator *
