Palmerston was also one of the first real media-manipulating politicians of the modern age, forging close links with a number of publications to create the so-called 'Palmerston press'. His relationship with The Times was more turbulent, a prolonged and bitter rivalry preceding eventual rapprochement during the Crimean War. In this book, Laurence Fenton explores the highly charged rivalry between these two titans of the mid-Victorian era, revealing the personal and political differences at the heart of an antagonism that stretched over the course of three decades. Fenton focuses on the years from 1830 to 1865, when Palmerston was British Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister for a combined total of almost twenty-five years, and when The Times, under the editorship of first Thomas Barnes and then John Delane, reached the zenith of its success. It was a period during which public interest in foreign affairs grew immeasurably, encompassing the tumultuous 'Year of Revolutions', the famous 'Don Pacifico' debate and the Crimean War. Palmerston and The Times adds significantly to the understanding of the life and career of Lord Palmerston, in particular the relationship he enjoyed with the press and public opinion that was so vital to his incredibly long and multifaceted political career. It also brings to light the remarkable men behind the success of The Times, paying fair tribute to their abilities while at the same time warning against the long-standing view of The Times as a paragon of newspaper independence in this era. It will be essential reading for researchers of Victorian history and for anyone interested in the tumultuous relationship between politics and the press."--Bloomsbury publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of Victorian studies ;$vv. 6. 606 $aPress and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBritish & Irish history$2BIC 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$y1837-1901 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1837-1901 615 0$aPress and politics$xHistory 615 7$aBritish & Irish history. 676 $a327.41009034 700 $aFenton$b Laurence$0876955 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464623303321 996 $aPalmerston and The Times$91958259 997 $aUNINA
