  • Alexander William Kinglake (5 August 1809 – 2 January 1891) was an English travel writer and historian. He was born near Taunton, Somerset, and educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was called to the Bar in 1837, and built up a thriving legal practice, which, in 1856, he abandoned to devote himself to literature and public life. His first literary venture was Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East (London: J. Ollivier, 1844), a very popular work of Eastern travel, apparently first published anonymously, in which he described a journey he made about ten years earlier in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful. However, his magnum opus was The Invasion of Crimea: Its Origin, and an Account of its Progress down to the Death of Lord Raglan, in 8 volumes, published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood, Edinburgh, one of the most effective works of its class. The History, which Geoffrey Bocca describes as a book "by which no intelligent man can fail immediately to be fascinated, no matter to what page he might open it" has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan and unduly hostile to Napoleon III for whom the author had an extreme aversion. The town of Kinglake in Victoria, Australia, and the adjacent national park are named after him. A Whig, Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MP) for Bridgwater, having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852. He was returned at next two general elections, but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on 26 February 1869. No by-election was held, and after a Royal Commission found that there had been extensive corruption, the town was disenfranchised in 1870. In the late 1880s he developed cancer of the throat, and he died on 2 January 1891. (en)
  • Alexander William Kinglake (* 5. August 1809 bei Taunton, Somerset; † 2. Januar 1891) war ein englischer Staatsmann und Historiker. Kinglake wurde am Eton College ausgebildet und studierte an der Universität Cambridge. Er wurde 1837 Sachwalter zu London, hörte aber 1856 auf zu praktizieren. 1857–68 war er als Vertreter der Liberalen für Bridgwater im Parlament, in dem er sich durch seine Interpellationen und Anträge über auswärtige Angelegenheiten hervortat. Sein erstes Werk Eothen or Traces of Travel Brought Home from the East (1844, neue Ausg. 1864), eine episodische Darstellung seiner Reisen in den Orient, erregte großes Aufsehen und zählt heute zu den Klassikern der englischen Orient-Reiseliteratur. Sein vielschichtiges, aber wertvolles Hauptwerk ist die Geschichte des Krimkriegs: The invasion of the Crimea (London 1863–75, 5 Bde.; 6. Aufl. 1883, 7 Bde.). (de)
