## Description

The novel's fictional hero was based partly upon the author's own experiences as a Member of Parliament, and partly upon his friend Robert Falcon Scott, who at that time had yet to start out on his ill-fated expedition to the South Pole. On its publication, the book was greeted as one of the best parliamentary novels since Disraeli's, and at the same time " as absorbing and admirably written as any A. E. W. Mason has done".
