About This Item
New York: Chelsea House Publishers. Very Good + No Jacket Very clean and NOT Ex-Library. The volume containing valuable 205 pg indices. The twentieth century has produced only one true successor to the great speech collections of the early nineteenth century: the complete speeches' of Winston Churchill, edited by Robert Rhodes James and published in eight thick volumes in 1974. In this respect, the cult of Churchill (or at least its financial resources) proved greater that the cult of Gladstone. Significantly, like Thatcher and far more that Gladstone, Churchill was very popular with Americans and therefore there was a far larger market than for the speeches of most British prime ministers. Weighing in at around 8, 600 pages the Churchill collection reproduces a total of 2, 360 speeches-1, 040 delivered in the Commons, and 1, 320 delivered outside of Parliament or as broadcasts. But even this massive compedium does not-perhaps could not-include absolutely every public utterance and broadcast made by Churchill. Cloth . Cloth. 1974.
