"Bentley's study is an extremely successful attempt to analyze what he calls the `Conservative Environments' around and about the Marquis…. Bentley quite rightly remarks that Lord Salisbury was `bitingly intelligent, focused and funny' (p. 6). So is Michael Bentley, who writes in a tellingly ironic yet often elegiac style which reflects an historian completely at home in his period, more than aware of its nuances, and quite prepared to indulge in unwhiggish and trenchant criticism of modernity."
