A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Henry Du Pré Labouchère (9 November 1831 – 15 January 1912) was an English politician, writer, publisher and theatre owner in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. He married the actress Henrietta Hodson. Labouchère, who inherited a large fortune, engaged in a number of occupations. He was a junior member of the British diplomatic service, a Member of Parliament in the 1860s and again from 1880 to 1906, and edited and funded his own magazine, Truth. He is remembered for the Labouchère Amendment to British law, which for the first time made all male homosexual activity a crime. Unable to secure the senior positions to which he thought himself suitable, Labouchère left Britain and retired to Italy.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

These letters are published for the very excellent reason that a confiding publisher has offered me a sum of money for them which I was not such a fool as to refuse. They were written in Paris to the Daily News during the siege.
