Fifteen Chapters of Autobiography
Fifteen Chapters of Autobiography, published in 1914, is the memoir of George William Erskine Russell, a Liberal politician, man of letters and devout High Churchman who had already made a name with Collections and Recollections. Russell describes his childhood in a great Whig family, his years at Harrow and Oxford, the London society and the hospitality of the 1870s and 1880s, his campaigns for Parliament and his service under Gladstone as a junior minister, the oratory and the politics of the period, his literary friendships and journalism, and his religious life in the Anglo-Catholic movement. The chapters are arranged by subject rather than by year, and the book is full of anecdotes of the famous and the forgotten. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
