On the New Statesman podcast, Dominic Sandbrook argued that 1950s and 1960s politicians like Harold Macmillan gained empathy from evening reads of 19th-century fiction, such as Trollope, unlike today's screen-filled nights. He suggested this 'hinterland' produced better leaders amid a shrill political landscape, a view echoed by Aaron Bastani and Michael Gove. Critics pointed to era flaws like the Suez Crisis and Soviet spies, questioning if reading alone ensured strong governance. The clip revives calls for leaders with depth beyond briefs.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Imagine prime ministers unwinding with Anthony Trollope novels instead of policy briefs or social media. Historian Dominic Sandbrook misses that era's reflective leaders.
