Description: The Radical Lord Radnor was first published in 1977. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The third Earl of Radnor, born William Pleydell-Bouverie, served in the British House of Commons for twenty-seven years (18011828) as Viscount Folkestone and in the House of Lords for twenty years (18281848). Although he was a great hereditary landowner, Lord Radnor was the most radical nobleman to serve in Parliament in the first half of the nineteenth century. In this political biography, Professor Huch traces Lord Radnor's entire parliamentary career.
