Synopsis

Richard Reeves presents the first definitive biography of John Stuart Mill, Britain's foremost public intellectual. This book reveals Mill as a passionate man of action: a philosopher, radical MP, and reformer who profoundly shaped Victorian society and continues to influence our own. From his early activism and debates to his landmark essay 'On Liberty,' Mill fearlessly tackled issues like women's suffrage, free speech, and the regulation of gambling and alcohol, all while pursuing a two-decade love affair in his private life.
