Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Strong hardback historical biography for the autumn, this is the first life of John Stuart Mill to have been written for the general reader since 1954. An intellectual giant of the Victorian age, with passions and concerns that are still of relevance today, Mill is a fitting subject for this weighty but accessible portrait, and this book will appeal to those who enjoyed Francis Wheen on Karl Marx, Peter Ackroyd on Dickens and A.N. Wilson's "The Victorians", etc. 16pp b/w plates.

Publisher's description:

John Stuart Mill was a vigorous activist who began campaigning for accessible contraceptive methods when he was just seventeen. He would become, in time, the highest-ranked English thinker of the century, and the author of "On Liberty". This is a portrait of a man whose life was spent in the pursuit of truth and liberty for all.
