Gladstone was noted for spending his leisure hours studying Homer and Dante. One author writes, "The leisure of William Ewart Gladstone, learned hours , studying Homer and Dante, the gentility of his marriage to the Welsh gentry family of Glynn, as of his early education at Eton and Christ Church, was all underwritten by the sweat of slaves. And he knew it. The guilty knowledge underlay much of his life, as it did those of so many of his contemporaries." [Wilson]
