The Controversialist: An Intellectual Life of Goldwin Smith. By Paul T. Phillips. (Westport: Praeger, 2002. xvi, 198 pp. $64.95, ISBN 0-275-97611-4.)
Goldwin Smith (1823–1910) embodied—literally—the transatlantic nature of anglophone liberalism delineated three decades ago by Robert Kelley in The Transatlantic Persuasion: The Liberal-Democratic Mind in the Age of Gladstone (1969).
