Cecil Rhodes: A Study of a Career is a biography written by Howard Hensman that delves into the life and legacy of one of the most controversial figures in British colonial history. Rhodes was a businessman, politician, and imperialist who played a pivotal role in the expansion of the British Empire in southern Africa during the late 19th century. Hensman's book provides a detailed account of Rhodes' upbringing, education, and early career, as well as his later achievements and controversies. The author explores Rhodes' complex personality, his relationships with key figures such as Alfred Beit and Leander Starr Jameson, and his vision for a united and powerful British South Africa. Hensman also examines Rhodes' legacy, including his involvement in the forced removal of indigenous peoples from their land, his support for the British concentration camps during the Boer War, and his role in the creation of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The book offers a nuanced and critical perspective on Rhodes' life and career, and raises important questions about the impact of colonialism and imperialism on southern Africa and the wider world. Overall, Cecil Rhodes: A Study of a Career is a comprehensive and thought-provoking biography that sheds light on one of the most influential and controversial figures in British history.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1901 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Cecil Beaton was one of Britain's greatest cultural icons - not just as a photographer capturing some of the most celebrated portraits of the 20th century but also as designer of the iconic sets and costumes for the films My Fair Lady and Gigi. In 1980, Beaton personally chose Hugo Vickers to be his biographer, entrusting him with his diaries and the entire body of letters he had written - both personally and professionally - over the course of his life. Drawing on five years of intensive research and interviews with the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Truman Capote, Princess Grace of Monaco and Sir John Gielgud, Vickers' biography was an instant bestseller upon its publication in 1985. Exploring Beaton's metamorphosis from being the child of a staid middle-class family to an international figure mingling with the glittering stars of his age, the biography also details his great love for Greta Garbo and reveals his private sense of failure that the success he always wanted - as a playwright - eluded him. Republished in a new paperback edition in time for Bright Young Things, a major exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in 2020, Cecil Beaton is the definitive and authorised biography of one of the world's most fascinating, famous and admired photographers.
