Stanley Baldwin - drafts and proofs

Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.7799
Scope and Contents
Some years before his death in 1947, Earl Baldwin of Bewdley asked the historian G.M. Young to become his official biographer, a request to which Young acceded with misgivings. Declining health and a lack of sympathy with his subject made his task increasingly burdensome to him, but he was persuaded to continue by his publisher, Rupert Hart-Davis, and the volume appeared in 1952. It received good reviews, and won the James Tait Black Prize; but ‘…it is not a satisfying book; Young’s touch...

Stanley Baldwin Papers

Young observed in the preface to his biography, Baldwin "kept no diary, circulated no memoranda to his colleagues, rarely wrote a political letter, and still more rarely made a copy of anything he did write". Thirdly, there is...
