“The morning had been golden, the noontide was bronze, and the evening lead. But all were solid, and each was polished till it shone after its fashion,” was the final epitaph Winston Churchill wrote of Lord George Curzon in his sketch of the statesman first published in Pall Mall in 1929, four years after Curzon’s death. This judgement reflects the magnitude of Curzon’s achievements, ambitions, and disappointments in the course of a career that was very much linked in its latter years with Winston Churchill. An article on the Curzon-Churchill relationship by the author of this blog has been published by The Churchill Project. It is available here.
