Although superseded by W.A. Hay, The Whig Revival (2005), A. Aspinall, Lord Brougham and the Whig Party (1927), with its wealth of incorporated caricatures and correspondence, remains an authoritative source on Brougham’s early political career. Other biographies include G.T. Garratt, Lord Brougham (1935); F. Hawes, Henry Brougham (1957); C. New, Life of Henry Brougham to 1830 (1961); its sequel R.K. Huch, Lord Brougham, the Later Years, 1830-68: The Great Actor (1993); and R. Stewart, Henry Brougham (1778-1868): His Public Career (1986). Brougham’s autobiography, Life and Times (1871), compiled to counter and pre-empt criticism in Lord Campbell’s Lives of the Lord Chancellors, is unreliable. T.H. Ford, Lord Brougham and his World (1998) and Chancellor Brougham and his World (2001) draw heavily on it and on The Times, reflecting their author’s rejection of the approaches of Marxist and Tory historians to biography. Ford’s publications have the most comprehensive bibliographies. Ford also reappraised Brougham in several articles and in Law and Hist. Rev. xviii (2000), 397-432. For Brougham’s writings see The Works of Lord Brougham (1872).
