Gladstone, William Ewart
Gladstone, William Ewart (1809–98) British statesman, prime minister (1868–74, 1880–85, 1886, 1892–94). He was elected to Parliament as a Tory in 1832. Gladstone served as chancellor of the exchequer (1852–55, 1857–66). In 1867, he succeeded
Palmerston as leader of the
Liberal Party. In 1874, he was defeated by Benjamin
Disraeli and resigned as Liberal leader. His criticism of Disraeli's imperialist tendencies won him the 1879 elections. Gladstone passed two Irish Land Acts and several
Reform Acts (1884, 1885), extending the
franchise. The government's failure to help General
Gordon in Khartoum forced him to resign. Gladstone's last ministries were dominated by his advocacy of
Home Rule for Ireland.
