Walter Bagehot was born 200 years ago today, on 3 February 1826. To mark the bicentenary of his birth we have published a new book about Bagehot, called Walter Bagehot: life and legacy.
The book is presented in three sections: Bagehot’s life, Bagehot’s work and Bagehot’s commemoration. This novel approach allows the authors to illustrate how his experience informed and enriched his work. Living in Bagehot’s home town, they have brought a unique perspective to their account, which draws on a rich variety of source material, both published and unpublished. Finally, they describe how Bagehot’s legacy has been preserved and his life commemorated locally, nationally and internationally.
Details of the book and how to get hold of it are available here.
