Summary:

In the early twentieth century, longstanding social mores in England began to shift rapidly, with centuries-long institutions and belief systems beginning to fall by the wayside. Anthony Hope''s Second String conveys the tumult of the era through a tale of two politicians -- one with aristocratic roots, one a salt-of-the-earth populist -- and their respective career arcs.
