About The Author	Andrew Gailey has taught history at Eton College since 1981 and was a housemaster from 1993 to 2006. Since then he has been elected Vice-Provost and a Fellow of the College. A graduate of St Andrews and the University of Cambridge, he is the author of numerous studies of Anglo-Irish relations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and has a particular research interest in constructive unionism.
	The cult of political biography is gently withering with the decline in the number of its adherents. How pleasing and unexpected, then, to read about Lord Dufferin, in a scholarly, well-researched volume, elegantly written and published by John Murray, which in its ancient régime heyday issued many such tomes. Andrew Gailey is a fine historian
Other text	An eagerly anticipated biography of one of the greatest statesmen of the Victorian age.
