Description
London: Macmillan and Co. Limited, 1906. First edition. Very Good. First edition of Churchill's biography of his father, the Conservative Party statesman Lord Randolph Churchill, handsomely bound. 2 vols, octavo (216 x 140 mm). Photogravure portrait frontispieces, 13 plates and 3 facsimiles, 1 folding, 1 double-page. Mid-20th-century blue half morocco by Bayntun, spines lettered in gilt, blue cloth sides, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. Bookplate of John Thoburn Williamson (1907-1958), Canadian diamond magnate who built a significant book collection. Spines sunned with some soiling, very minor rubbing, some light foxing. A very good copy. Lord Randolph was a significant figure in British political life during the 1880s, serving as Chancellor, Leader of the Commons, and Secretary for India, until his resignation from the Cabinet in 1886 on a point of principle stalled his political career. Winston's relationship with his father was respectful rather than warm; however, "when Winston later reread his father's letters, he realized how much he had thought and cared for him... [and] was determined to vindicate his memory. In 1906 he published a two-volume biography of his father, which remains the most detailed written up to the end of the twentieth century. Winston believed that he owed everything to his father" (ODNB). Cohen A17.1. Very Good.
