Book introduction
The New Machiavelli
Richard Remington looks back on the family, education, marriage, and political alliances that shaped his career. His attempts to imagine a more rational public life collide with class interests and his relationship with Isabel. Written as a retrospective confession, Wells’s English novel connects the machinery of parliamentary politics with the difficult management of private feeling.
